CONTROL ENGINEERING LYAPUNOV-BASED CONTROL OF...

The design of nonlinear controllers for mechanical systems has been an ex tremely active area
of research in the last two decades. From a theoretical point of view  this attention can be
attributed to their interesting dynamic behavior  which makes them suitable benchmarks for
nonlinear control the oreticians. On the other hand  recent technological advances have
produced many real-world engineering applications that require the automatic con trol of
mechanical systems. the mechanism for de Often  Lyapunov-based techniques are utilized as
veloping different nonlinear control structures for mechanical systems. The allure of the
Lyapunov-based framework for mechanical system control de sign can most likely be assigned to
the fact that Lyapunov function candi dates can often be crafted from physical insight into the
mechanics of the system. That is  despite the nonlinearities  couplings  and or the flexible
effects associated with the system  Lyapunov-based techniques can often be used to analyze the
stability of the closed-loop system by using an energy like function as the Lyapunov function
candidate. In practice  the design procedure often tends to be an iterative process that
results in the death of many trees. That is  the controller and energy-like function are often
constructed in concert to foster an advantageous stability property and or robustness property.
Fortunately  over the last 15 years  many system the ory and control researchers have labored
in this area to produce various design tools that can be applied in a variety of situations.
