Development of High Performance Control Systems for High Speed Web Handling Systems

高速制造和运输薄腹板需要严格控制由材料不均匀性、支撑辊运动/偏心或气动激励引起的大振动。由于过度振动导致腹板破坏（即腹板断裂）浪费了材料和时间，因此使用主动振动控制来消除振动引起的腹板断裂是很有动力的。本研究的主要目的是：I)开发用于设计高性能控制器和相关卷筒纸处理系统的机械执行器的数学框架；ii)为轴向移动材料开发新的卷筒纸处理控制系统，这些材料需要大幅度减振和/或需要精确的轴向速度跟踪，以达到期望的速度轮廓；iii)通过实验验证理论结果和实时实现，推动主动控制网络处理系统的应用得到更广泛的应用。该研究预计将影响控制理论（例如，可实现性能改进的分布式模型控制器），物料输送技术（例如，下一代高速机械）和其他横切领域（例如，电缆系统，柔性机器人操纵器等）。它有潜力为轴向移动的网状材料的振动控制创造全新的控制系统范例。

DMI-9813213 Dawson High-speed manufacture and transport of thin webs require tight control of the large vibration that can result from material non-uniformity, support roller motion/eccentricity, or aerodynamic excitation. Since failure of the web (i.e., web breaks) due to excessive vibration wastes material and time, the use of active vibration control for eliminating vibration-induced web breaks is well motivated. The primary objectives of this research are to: i) develop the mathematical framework for designing high-performance controllers and the associated mechanical actuators for web handling systems, ii) develop new web handling control systems for axial-moving materials that require large amplitude vibration reduction and/or require accurate axial-speed tracking for aggressive desired speed profiles, and iii) move the application of actively controlled web handling systems to more widespread use by experimentally verifying the theoretical results with real-time implementation. The research is expected to impact control theory (e.g., implementable performance improving distributed model controllers), material transport technology (e.g., next-generation high speed machinery), and other crosscutting areas (e.g., cable system, flexible robot manipulators, etc.). It has the potential of creating entirely new control system paradigms for the vibration control of axially-moving web-like materials.
