A variational approach to the analysis of dissipative electromechanical systems
We develop a method for systematically constructing Lagrangian functions for dissipative mechanical, electrical and, electromechanical systems. We derive the equations of motion for some typical electromechanical systems using deterministic principles that are strictly variational. We do not use any ad hoc features that are added on after the analysis has been completed, such as the Rayleigh dissipation function.
On the passivity of general nonlinear systems
In this article, we revisit the definitions of passivity and feedback passivity in the context of general continuous-time single input, single output, systems which are jointly nonlinear in the states and the control input. Neccessary conditions are given for the characterization of passive systems and extend the well known Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) conditions. Passivity concepts are used for studying the stabilization problem of general nonlinear systems. We extend the 'Energy Shaping and Damping Injection' (ESDI) controller design methodology to the studied class of systems. A semicanonical form for nonlinear systems which is of the Generalized Hamiltonian type, including dissipation terms, is also proposed. Passive and strictly passive systems are shown to be easily characterized in terms of such a canonical form.
Nonlinear passivity based control law with application to electropneumatic system
Proceeding of the 17th …, 2008
This paper presents a synthesis of a nonlinear controller to an electropneumatic system. Nonlinear passivity based control law is applied to the system under consideration. First, the nonlinear model of the electropneumatic system is presented. It is transformed to be a nonlinear affine model and a coordinate transformation is then making possible the implantation of the nonlinear controller. A nonlinear control law is developed to track desired position. Experimental results are also presented and discussed.
Passivity and Passive Feedback Stabilization for a Class of Mixed Potential Systems
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2014
This paper studies the input-output properties of a class of control affine systems where the drift dynamics is generated by a metriplectic structure. Those systems, related to generalized (or dissipative) Hamiltonian systems, are generated by a conserved component and a dissipative component and appear, for example, in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the two potentials generating the dynamics are interpreted as generalized energy and generalized entropy, respectively. In this note, passivity and passive feedback stabilization of this class of systems are studied, with the output function taken as the gradient of the conserved component of the dynamics, and the proposed storage function is computed using the dissipative (metric) component of the dynamics.
Towards Power-Based Control Strategies for a Class of Nonlinear Mechanical Systems
2016
Abstract: In the present work we are interested on the derivation of power-based passivity properties for a certain class of non-linear mechanical systems. While for (non)-linear mechanical systems, it is of common use to adopt a storage function related to the system’s energy in order to show passivity and stabilize the system on a desired equilibrium point(e.g., IDA-PBC (Ortega et al., 1998)), we want here to obtain similar properties related to the system’s power. The motivation arises from the idea that in some engineering applications(satellite orbit motion, aircraft dynamic,etc...)seems more sensible to cope with the power flowing into the system instead of the energy that for stabilization purposes, means to consider the systems’s equilibrium the state for which the energy flow-rate(i.e.,system’s power)is minimal. In this respect, we recall first the power-based description for a certain class of (non)-linear mechanical systems given in (de Rinaldis and Scherpen, 2005) and th...
On differential passivity of physical systems
52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control
Differential passivity is a property that allows to check with a pointwise criterion that a system is incrementally passive, a property that is relevant to study interconnected systems in the context of regulation, synchronization, and estimation. The paper investigates how restrictive is the property, focusing on a class of open gradient systems encountered in the coenergy modeling framework of physical systems, in particular the Brayton-Moser formalism for nonlinear electrical circuits. This paper presents research results of the Belgian Network DYSCO (Dynamical Systems, Control, and Optimization), funded by the Interuniversity Attraction Poles Programme, initiated by the Belgian State, Science Policy Office. The scientific responsibility rests with its authors.
A power-based description of standard mechanical systems
Systems & Control Letters, 2007
This paper is concerned with the construction of a power-based modeling framework for mechanical systems. Mathematically, this is formalized by proving that every standard mechanical system (with or without dissipation) can be written as a gradient vector field with respect to an indefinite metric. The form and existence of the corresponding potential function is shown to be the mechanical analog of Brayton and Moser's mixed-potential function as originally derived for nonlinear electrical networks in the early sixties. In this way, several recently proposed analysis and control methods that use the mixed-potential function as a starting point can also be applied to mechanical systems.

Motivated by applications of systems interacting with their environments, we study the design of passivitybased controllers for a class of hybrid systems. Classical and hybrid-specific notions of passivity along with detectability and solution conditions are linked to asymptotic stability. These results are used to design passivity-based controllers following classical passivity theory. An application, pertaining to a point mass physically interacting with the environment, illustrates the definitions and the results obtained throughout this work. • 0-input pre-asymptotically stable if it is 0-input stable and 0-input pre-attractive.
Ph D Thesis California Univ Berkeley, 1980
Consistent definitions of passivity and losslessness are formulated which apply to n-port electrical networks which are not necessarily linear, time variant, or lumped. Passively and losslessness conditions for nonlinear n-ports which can be mathematically represented by a finite order dynamical system verifiable without solving the state equation are found. A general theory is presented, consistent definitions of the concepts of passivity and losslessness are formulated, and various consequences of these definitions are presented and discussed. For the class of finite order dynamical systems, a number of significant results are obtained. The Smoothness Conjecture is shown to be false by producing a counterexample. Nontrivial sufficient and necessary algebraic conditions for passivity and losslessness are obtained. For first order time invariant dynamic systems, algebraic conditions for passivity and losslessness are obtained which are both necessary and sufficient. A complete, rigorous treatment of passivity and losslessness for linear time invariant finite order dynamical systems is presented.
