Energy-based Control and Observer Design for higher-order infinite-dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we present a control-design method based on the energy-Casimir method for infinite-dimensional, boundary-actuated port-Hamiltonian systems with two-dimensional spatial domain and second-order Hamiltonian. The resulting control law depends on distributed system states that cannot be measured, and therefore, we additionally design an infinite-dimensional observer by exploiting the port-Hamiltonian system representation. A Kirchhoff-Love plate serves as an example in order to demonstrate the proposed approaches.

Stability Analysis of the Observer Error of an In-Domain Actuated Vibrating String

In this paper, the behaviour of the observer error of an in-domain actuated vibrating string, where the observer system has been designed based on energy considerations exploiting a port-Hamiltonian system representation for infinite-dimensional systems, is analysed. Thus, the observer-error dynamics are reformulated as an abstract Cauchy problem, which enables to draw conclusions regarding the well-posedness of the observer-error system. Furthermore, we show that the observer error is asymptotically stable by applying LaSalle's invariance principle for infinite-dimensional systems.

Energy-Based In-Domain Control and Observer Design for Infinite-Dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we consider infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems with in-domain actuation by means of an approach based on Stokes-Dirac structures as well as in a framework that exploits an underlying jet-bundle structure. In both frameworks, a dynamic controller based on the energy-Casimir method is derived in order to stabilise certain equilibrias. Moreover, we propose distributed-parameter observers deduced by exploiting damping injection for the observer error. Finally, we compare the approaches by means of an in-domain actuated vibrating string and show the equivalence of the control schemes derived in both frameworks.

On Structural Invariants in the Energy-Based Control of Infinite-Dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems with In-Domain Actuation

This contribution deals with energy-based in-domain control of systems governed by partial differential equations with spatial domain up to dimension two. We exploit a port-Hamiltonian system description based on an underlying jet-bundle formalism, where we restrict ourselves to systems with 2nd-order Hamiltonian. A certain power-conserving interconnection enables the application of a dynamic control law based on structural invariants. Furthermore, we use various examples such as beams and plates with in-domain actuation to demonstrate the capability of our approach.

Energy-Based In-Domain Control of a Piezo-Actuated Euler-Bernoulli Beam

The main contribution of this paper is the extension of the well-known boundary-control strategy based on structural invariants to the control of infinite-dimensional systems with in-domain actuation. The systems under consideration, governed by partial differential equations, are described in a port-Hamiltonian setting making heavy use of the underlying jet-bundle structure, where we restrict ourselves to systems with 1-dimensional spatial domain and 2nd-order Hamiltonian. To show the applicability of the proposed approach, we develop a dynamic controller for an Euler-Bernoulli beam actuated with a pair of piezoelectric patches and conclude the article with simulation results.

Energy-Based Control of Nonlinear Infinite-Dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems with Dissipation

In this paper, we consider nonlinear PDEs in a port-Hamiltonian setting based on an underlying jet-bundle structure. We restrict ourselves to systems with 1-dimensional spatial domain and 2nd-order Hamiltonian including certain dissipation models that can be incorporated in the port- Hamiltonian framework by means of appropriate differential operators. For this system class, energy-based control by means of Casimir functionals as well as energy balancing is analysed and demonstrated using a nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam.
