Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to design and test a linear predictive control algorithm with elements of fuzzy logic in the non-linear speed region of a two-mass system with a flexible shaft.Design/methodology/approachTo compensate the non-linearity of friction in the low-speed region, the elements of the Q matrix have been retuned with the use of fuzzy logic. First, the influence of the Q matrix on the dynamics of the drive has been discussed. On the basis of these findings a fuzzy system has been developed.FindingsIt has been demonstrated that applying a relatively simple fuzzy system can reduce unwanted non-linear phenomena in the low-speed region; at the same time, the dynamics of the drive in the other regions is not deteriorated.Originality/valueThe solutions presented in the paper are original and have not been published so far. The influence of non-linear friction on the work of the drive in the low-speed region at different values of the matrix Q has been shown. Also, a novel system of online adjustment of the values of the Q matrix in a predictive speed controller has been introduced. Besides, the system has been compared against the classical predictive regulator.
