Analysis and shaping of the self-sustained oscillations in relay controlled fractional-order systems

Abstract

This work deals with Single-Input-Single-Output (SISO) fractional order systems with a discontinuous relay control element in the feedback loop. Stable self-sustained oscillations often occur in the closed loop relay system, and this work takes advantage of Describing Function (DF) analysis and of another more accurate approach, called Locus of a Perturbed Relay System (LPRS) method, for analyzing in the frequency domain the characteristics of the limit cycle oscillations. The use of fractional lead compensator is also suggested for the purpose of shaping the characteristics of the limit cycle. The proposed analysis and design procedures will be supported by thoroughly discussed simulation examples.MSC 2010 : Primary 34A08; Secondary 34C25, 93C80, 34A36

Model Order Reduction: A Comparison between Integer and Non-Integer Order Systems Approaches

“…Typical applications of FOC can be found in control [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], chaos [21], Fractional Order Element (FOE) [22][23][24][25][26], Fractional Order Impedance (FOI) characterization [27][28][29], and medical applications [30][31][32]. More recently, fractional calculus is being applied in the study of complex systems.…”

Trapezoidal methods for fractional differential equations: Theoretical and computational aspects

“…The main advantage of the convolution structure is however that (7) can be implemented in a fast way by means of FFT algorithms [28].…”

“…It is nowadays well established that several real-life phenomena are better described by fractional differential equations (FDEs), where the term fractional, used for historical reasons, refers to derivative operators of any real positive order. Applications of FDEs are commonly found in bioengineering, chemistry, control theory, electronic circuit theory, mechanics, physics, seismology, signal processing and so on (e.g., [3,7,5,33,22,41,50]). We refer to [40] for an historical perspective on fractional calculus.…”

Finite Difference Method for Time-Space Fractional Advection–Diffusion Equations with Riesz Derivative

“…Fractional calculus has been applied to almost every field of science, engineering, and mathematics during the last decades [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Particularly fractional calculus has significant impact in the fields of viscoelasticity and rheology, physics, electrical engineering, electrochemistry, signal and image processing, biology, biophysics and bioengineering, mechanics, mechatronics, and control theory.…”
