Abstract

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Stability analysis and dominant eigenvalues computation for second-order linear systems with multiple time-delays are addressed by using a reduced characteristic function and the associated characteristic matrix comprised of measured open-loop receptances. This reduced characteristic function is derived from the original characteristic function of the second-order time delayed systems based on a reasonable assumption that eigenvalues of the closed-loop system are distinct from those of the open-loop system. Then a contour integral is used to test the stability and provide the stability chart with respect to different displacement and velocity feedback time-delays, and a Newton-type method to compute the dominant eigenvalues via this characteristic function. The proposed approach also utilizes the spectrum distribution features of the retarded time-delay systems. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
