... module. The simulation results show that in the early heating stage, the temperature increases more quickly at the crack tip compared with other points on the sample. The results indicate that to maximize sensitivity, the response should be analyzed in the early stages of the heating period, no more than...

... plot is presented which allows for selection of controller parameters including those for the lowest sensitivity controller, and graphically highlights gain and phase margin tradeoffs. The paper discusses limitations of performance of such systems in terms of crossover frequency and sensitivity...

..., and the related technical issues such as stability and noise sensitivity are addressed. The combined observer setting is also extended to stochastic systems, and the discrete Kalman filter is reformulated by including the perturbation estimate update process. Numerical examples and experimental results validate...

...Nancy Morse Thibeault; Roy S. Smith We obtain bounds on achievable sensitivity and complementary sensitivity reduction for a magnetic bearing system in three measurement configurations. We use the sensitivity reduction bounds to deduce achievable robustness and performance limits for each system...

... with respect to the input parameters in order to form sensitivity equations. The algorithm makes use of techniques and notation from the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, which is reviewed briefly. One of the strengths of our formulation is the ability to easily differentiate the dynamics algorithm...

...P. S. V. Nataraj; Gautam Sardar Algorithms are presented for generation of QFT controller bounds to achieve robust sensitivity reduction and gain-phase margin specifications. The proposed algorithms use quadratic constraints and interval plant templates to derive the bounds, and present several...
