Reduced Order Controllers for Distributed Parameter Systems
Distributed parameter systems (DPS) are systems defined on infinite dimensional spaces. This includes problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) and delay differential equations. In order to numerically implement a controller for a physical system we often first approximate the PDE …

Parameter identification and control of distributed-parameter systems
… and one for the control implementation of distributed-parameter systems are presented. The methods are designed to identify and control the actual distributed system, without resorting to discretization. They are implemented using discrete sensors and actuators. The identification process …

Optimization based control design techniques for distributed parameter systems
… based control design techniques for the systems that are governed by partial differential equations. A control technique is developed for systems that are actuated at the boundary. The principles of dynamic inversion and constrained optimization theory are used to formulate a feedback …

Synthesis of dynamic Green's functions for distributed parameter systems
… of dynamic Green's functions of complex distributed parameter systems from previously known Green's functions of their elemental substructures. The method allows for the incorporation of both discrete and distributed constraints into the formulation and is also applicable to systems …

Sliding Mode Observers for Distributed Parameter Systems: Theory and Applications
… model these phenomena. However, in the case of distributed parameter systems, it is not always possible to have access to the states of the systems due to technical difficulties such as lack of sensors. Therefore, there is the need for state observers to estimate the states of the system only …

On Approximation and Optimal Control of Nonnormal Distributed Parameter Systems
For more than 100 years, the Navier-Stokes equations and various linearizations have been used as a model to study fluid dynamics. Recently, attention has been directed toward studying the nonnormality of linearized problems and developing convergent numerical schemes for simulation of these …

Feedback design for nonlinear distributed-parameter systems by extended linearization
… of the procedure, applicable both to lumped-parameter and distributed-parameter systems, are discussed at the outset. The development shows limits on feedback laws that can be designed, as well as nonuniqueness of solutions, inherent in the method.

Robust optimal boundary and spatial field control of distributed parameter systems
The control of distributed parameter systems (DPS) is an interesting and challenging research field studied since the 1960s. An increasing number of DPS control problems in aerospace, materials, chemistry, biology, and other disciplines have attracted many mathematicians and engineers to this field …

The use of transfer function methods in the feedback control of distributed parameter systems
The design of controllers for structural systems, particularly those associated with large space structures, has received a considerable amount of attention in the past few years. The usual approach to designing these controllers is to apply modern control theory to a reduced linear system obtained …

Model based fault diagnosis and prognosis of class of linear and nonlinear distributed parameter systems modeled by partial differential equations
<p>"With the rapid development of modern control systems, a significant number of industrial systems may suffer from component failures. An accurate yet faster fault prognosis and resilience can improve system availability and reduce unscheduled downtime. Therefore, in this dissertation, …
