본 논문의 목적은, LQR 제어이득의 효율적 산정에 의한 지진하중을 받는 빌딩 구조물의 능동지진제어를 위하여 능동텐던 장치를 적용한 구조물의 지진응답제어를 위한 최적화 방법을 제시한 것이다. 텐던을 이용한 구조물 지진응답제어 문제의 정식화를 위해 Ricatti 폐회로 제어이론 및 위상보정에 의한 시간지연현상을 도입하였으며, 상태방정식의 해를 산정하기 위해 전달 행렬을 이용한 수치해석법을 이용 사다리꼴적분법에 의해 상태벡터의 해를 산정하였다. 성능지수의 최적화를 위해, 최소 가중행렬비를 설계변수로, IBC 2000의 허용층간변위 규정과 텐던의 최대제어력을 제약조건으로 하여, SUMT 기법에 의해 최적 해를 산정토록 최적제어 프로그램을 개발하였다. 8층 빌딩구조물에 대한 적용 예에서, 최적제어를 적용한 시스템이 비제어 시스템에 비해 층간제어효과가 우수하고, 일정 가중행렬비 적용 제어시스템에 비해 낮은 성능지수가 요구되었다.

This paper deals with a strategy of gain optimization for the kinematic control algorithm of a wire-driven surgical robot. The proposed controller consists of the closed-loop inverse kinematics with the back-calculation method. The closed-loop inverse kinematics has 18 PID control gains, and the back-calculation method has 6 gains. An efficient strategy is designed to optimize 18 values first and then the remaining 6 values. The optimal gain sets are searched under the step input with performance indices. In this gain optimization, the objective function is defined as the minimum value of signal-to-noise ratio of the performance indices for 6 DoF (Degree-of-Freedom) motion that is based on the Taguchi method, and the constraints are applied to obtain stable responses for each motion evenly. The gain sets obtained are verified by simulations using the test trajectories. In comparative results, the optimal gain value based on the performance index combined with ISE (integral of square error) and settling time showed the best control performance.

The tracking filter plays a key role in the accurate estimation and prediction of maneuvering a vessel’s position and velocity when attempting to enhance safety by avoiding collision. Therefore, in order to achieve accurate estimation and prediction, many oceangoing vessels are equipped with the Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) system. However, the accuracy of prediction depends on the tracking filter’s ability to reduce noise and maintain a stable transient response. The purpose of this paper is to derive the optimal values of the gain parameters used in tracking a High Dynamic Warship. The algorithm employs a α-β-γ filter to provide accurate estimates and updates of the state variables, that is, positions, velocity and acceleration of the high dynamic warship based on previously observed values. In this study, the filtering coefficients α, β and γ are determined from set values of the damping parameter, ξ. Optimization of the damping parameter, ξ, is achieved experimentally by plotting the residual error against different values of the damping parameter to determine the least value of the damping parameter that results in the optimum smoothing coefficients leading to a reduction in the noise corruption effect. Further investigation of the performance of the filter indicates that optimal smoothing coefficients depend on the initial and average velocity of the target.
