Accurate Finite-Time Motion Control of Hydraulic Actuators With Event-Triggered Input
Abstract
Generally, asymptotic tracking motion control algorithm can ensure the stability of the closed-loop system, but hardly exploits the potential system performance. As an alternative, a high-accuracy control method with finite-time regulation is studied in this paper for hydraulic actuators pertaining to complex unknowns and limited communication bandwidth. During system modeling, a hydraulic actuator system is expressed in the Brunovsky form with a lumped disturbance term, instead of the conventional semi-strict-feedback form, such that the tracking control can be transformed to the stabilizing problem. As a result, the homogeneity-based finite-time motion controller enables to be recursively constructed. This paper develops a finite-time observer to simultaneously estimate the partial unknown state and the lumped disturbance, with a short time, thereby improving the disturbance rejection and transient response. Moreover, a novel threshold triggering mechanism is proposed to alleviate the limited communication resources and ensure the relatively small amplitude fluctuation of control inputs via a minimum function. The stability and finite-time convergence of the closed-loop system are all proved. Meanwhile, the Zeno behavior is avoided. Finally, the proposed control scheme is tested and verified on the aero-engine Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test-rig with hydraulic actuators.Note to Practitioners—This paper displays how to utilize the event-triggered communication protocol and finite-time control for hydraulic actuators in the networked control systems. The designed event-triggered mechanism saves more communication resources while ensuring the satisfied motion control effect. Moreover, the internal and external uncertainties are all tackled with the developed finite-time observer. Experimental results verify that the proposed schemes are easily implemented, but with the plentiful performance improvements of motion control, disturbance attenuation (i.e., finite-time output tracking and unknown estimation), and the capability on saving network resources. In addition, the proposed event-driven control scheme is also feasible for other mechatronic systems, e.g., linear motor, DC motor and marine surface vehicles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
