Abstract
This paper deals with a stabilization of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid. To suppress the unstable phenomena of the pipe system, we employ so called gain scheduling technique. This control design procedure consists of following two steps. First, several linear time invariant controllers are obtained for the pipe system with fixed flow velocity. Next, those controllers are scheduled according to the flow velocity, i.e. scheduling parameter. The control object which consists of the pipe system and the actuator is modeled mathematically by Galerkin method. The experimental setup consists of the pipe system, a laser sensor, an A/D converter, a personal computer, a D/A converter, a DC servomotor which is used as an actuator, and a flow meter. The flow meter measures the flow velocity which is used in the controller. Experimental results show that the gain scheduled controller has superior property to stabilize unstable phenomena of the pipe system.
