Fractional-Order LQR and State Observer for a Fractional-Order Vibratory System

The present study uses linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory to control a vibratory system modeled by a fractional-order differential equation. First, as an example of such a vibratory system, a viscoelastically damped structure is selected. Second, a fractional-order LQR is designed for a system...

description The present study uses linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory to control a vibratory system modeled by a fractional-order differential equation. First, as an example of such a vibratory system, a viscoelastically damped structure is selected. Second, a fractional-order LQR is designed for a system in which fractional-order differential terms are contained in the equation of motion. An iteration-based method for solving the algebraic Riccati equation is proposed in order to obtain the feedback gains for the fractional-order LQR. Third, a fractional-order state observer is constructed in order to estimate the states originating from the fractional-order derivative term. Fourth, numerical simulations are presented using a numerical calculation method corresponding to a fractional-order state equation. Finally, the numerical simulation results demonstrate that the fractional-order LQR control can suppress vibrations occurring in the vibratory system with viscoelastic damping.
