Effects of time delays on the stability of collocated and noncollocated point control of discrete dynamic structural systems (Q1893050): Difference between revisions

The effects of time delays on collocated as well as noncollocated point control of discrete dynamic systems have been examined. Controllers of proportional-integral-derivative type have been considered. Analytical estimates of time delays to maintain/obtain stability for small gains have been given. It is shown that undamped structural systems cannot be stabilized with pure velocity (or integral) feedback without time delays while using a controller which is not collocated with the sensor when the mass matrix is diagonal.
