Abstract: This paper considers the modeling and control of a single axis electromagnetic suspension for vibration isolation. Here, the nonlinear dynamic equations for the suspension are derived using a ...

Abstract: This paper considers the design of direct output static and dynamic stabilizing controllers for linear systems. Here, the controllers that stabilize the closed-loop system must satisfy an H∞ ...

Abstract: This paper develops a stabilizing observer-based feedback linearizing controller for a single-axis electromagnetic suspension. The controller uses only the measured output of the system, and is ...

Abstract: This article presents the design, dynamic analysis, and control of a flywheel energy storage system. At the heart of the system is a hybrid magnetic bearing. The bearing consists of ring and ...

Abstract: This paper uses linear quadratic optimal control theory to design high-speed Dwell-Rise-Dwell (D-R-D) cams. Three approaches to D-R-D cam design are compared. In the first approach the cam is ...
