Robust Control and System Identification of Highly Resonant Systems

复杂和高谐振系统的建模和控制越来越重要，因为它们出现在航空航天、声学、机器人和“智能”结构等各种新兴领域。与此同时，用于识别必要模型和合成这些系统所需控制器的有效工具还处于起步阶段。这是由于所涉及的结构的高维性所遇到的特殊困难。该研究项目将采用鲁棒控制和多变量系统辨识理论领域的新方法，在这一领域找到新的高性能解决方案。

The modelling and control of complex and highly resonant systems is of increasing engineering importance due to their occurence in a wide variety of emerging areas in aerospace, acoustics, robotics and ``smart'' structures. At the same time, effective tools tailored towards identifying the necessary models, and synthesising the necessary controllers for these systems are in their infancy. This arises from special difficulties encountered via the high dimensionality of the structures involved. This research project will employ new methods from the fields of robust control and multivariable system identification theory to lead to new and high performance solutions in this area.
