RIA: Control of Chaotic Impacting Oscillators

这项研究启动奖资助了一项建模研究， 非线性系统仿真与控制 表现出混沌的机电系统。这项研究 实验和分析部分，并强调控制 战略布局主动和被动控制策略都将 用于划定安全操作区域。定期 激励将被用作输入，以将系统锁定在 不稳定的周期轨道代表混沌响应。控制 然后将使用方案来稳定运动。结果 应该适用于动态系统，如打印机和齿轮 有反冲的机制。* //

This Research Initiation Award funds a study of the modeling, simulation and control aspects on inherently nonlinear electromechanical systems which exhibit chaos. The research has both experimental and analytical components and emphasizes control strategies. Both active and passive control strategies will be developed to delineate regions of safe operation. Periodic excitations will be used as inputs to lock the system into an unstable periodic orbit representing chaotic response. Control schemes will then be used to stabilize the motion. The results should be applicable to dynamic systems such as printers and gear mechanisms with backlash.*** //
