The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a LQG Hybrid controller to suppress the earthquake disturbance for the building structure. The ground acceleration of N-S component of El-Centro earthquake was scaled to confirm that the building behaved within the elastic range. The tuned mass damper(TMD) on the top floor regulated by LQG algorithm was designed to control the floor displacements. The displacement responses of the hybrid control were compared with those obtained from an active control along with a passive control. The results showed that the LQG hybrid control used approximately 50% less input forces than an active control to satisfy the performance criteria.

This paper presents a hybrid control system combining lead rubber bearings and hydraulic actuators for seismic response control of a cable stayed bridge. Because multiple control devices are operating, a hybrid control system could improve the control performances. However, the overall system robustness may be impacted negatively by additional active control devices. Therefore, a secondary on-off type controller according to the responses of lead rubber bearings is combined with LQG algorithm to improve the controller robustness. Numerical simulation results show that control performances of the hybrid system controlled by an on off type LQG algorithm are improved compared to those of the passive and active control systems and are similar to those of performance oriented hybrid system controlled by a LQG algorithm with the similar peak and normed control forces. Furthermore, it is verified that the hybrid system with an on-off type LQG controller is more robust for stiffness matrix perturbation than conventional hybrid control of system, and there are no signs of instability in the overall system. The proposed control system also maintains the control performance under not only the design earthquakes but also the other earthquakes. Therefore, the hybrid control system using on-off type LQG algorithm could be proposed as an improved control strategy for seismically excited cable-stayed bridges containing many uncertainties.

This research is concerned with the multiple PPF and the modified LQG controller design for active vibration control of intelligent structures. The intelligent structure is defined as the structure equipped with smart actuators and sensors. Various control techniques aimed for the piezoceramic sensors and actuators have been proposed for the active vibration control of smart structures and some of them prove their effectiveness experimentally. In this paper, the multiple PPF controller and the modified LQG controller are developed and applied to the smart grid structure. The multiple PPF control and the modified LQG control can be classified as the classical and the modern control techniques. respectively. The experimental results show that both control techniques are effective in suppressing vibrations. Two control techniques are compared with respect to the design process. the ease of implementation and the effectiveness

The LQG and LQG/LTR compensators have the same structrues in dynamics. The only difference is the values of the design parameters in the two compensators. The design parameters of the LQG and LQG/LTR compensators are selected in the sense of the least-squares error minimi- zation and loop shaping, respectively. In this paper, the LQG and LQG/ LTR design methods are applied to the helicopter in hover which is modeled as a SISO fourth order system. The dynamic characteristics and the perfor- mance of the two control systems are analyzed by the computer simulation. It is found that the LQG/LTR design method is systematic and has good performance in comparision with the LQG design method.

Converting technology has developed to print information for the decades. Recently, this technology (like gravure, gravure-offset) is rising as an alternative way for mass production of printed electronics such as RFID, solar cell. For the width of printing line is under 10 microns, registration error should be minimized less than several microns. Tension disturbance is main cause of registration error and this should be minimized before the substrate is transported into printing zone. With PI controller, it is possible to suppress the disturbance within 2% of operating tension. But register error appears more than 10 micron using PIcontroller considering noise. So LQG controller is needed as an alternative control method. In this paper, the comparision of PI and LQG controller in the converting machine including measured noise and tension disturbance is presented. It is shown that the LQG controller is more suitable for precision tension control in printed electronics.

The LTP, condition of the discrete-time LQG is analyzed and approved by the experiments against the uncertainty of real plant, the discretized LQG /LTR control shows the good robustness.

This paper deals with wafer temperature uniformity control essential in rapid thermal processing (RTP). One of the important control objectives of RTP is to keep the temperature over the wafer surface as uniformly as possible. For this, a discrete time state equation around the operating point is first identified by using the subspace fitting method, and a multivariable LQG(Linear Quadratic Gaussian) controller is designed based on the identified model. Simulation and experimental results show improvement in temperature uniformity over the conventional PID method.

To control the motion of building structures under earthquakes their response should be measured first by various sensors and transformed into the control forces using some control algorithms. Of many control algorithms linear quadratic control is widely used as it is easy to implement and analyze. However the algorithms has the disadvantage that it needs the real-time measurements of all state variables(i.e, building's displacements and velocities) which are difficult to achieve for the building structures under earthquakes. Thus the practical algorithms employing output feedback are developed. In this paper LQG algorithm is used for the control of the building model with an active mass driver. The building's acceleration is used to obtain the control gain and the Kalman filter gain. The LQG control strategy is verified with the experimental study on the one-storybuilding model equipped with the active mass driver. This paper demonstrates experimentally the efficacy of the LQG algorithm based on the active mass driver system in reducing the response of seismically excited buildings.

In this study, dynamic analysis of a proportional solenoid valve is performed, and an LQG/LTR controller with an integrator is designed to control the proportional solenoid valve. The dynamic characteristic of a valve is identified using experimental data by employing the frequency-domain modeling technique. The purpose of LQG/LTR control with an integrator is to enhance the system response and to improve the tracking accuracy for a complex input signal. Experimental tests are performed to verify the performance of the controller, and the results prove the high performance of the controller.

A mathematical model of the seeker scan-loop which is composed of a spin-stabilized gyroscope and its driving signal processors is derived. The derived model has a transmission zero pair on the imaginary axis near to the required bandwidth. The LQG/LTR design methodology is evolved for the derived scan-loop model. To implement the designed LQG/LTR compensator to the actual plant, the compensator order is reduced using the internally balanced realization method. The performances of the LQG/LTR compensator are tested and compared with those of the P-control. Especially, stability-robustnessexperiments for model uncertainties represented in the form of time-delays are performed. It is demonstrated that the LQG/STR compensator is actually very robust to model uncertainties.
