Abstract

The Extended Proximate Time-Optimal Servo (XPTOS) is analyzed for stability using techniques that take directly into account the existence of a lightly damped structural mode. The XPTOS system operates in closed loop and blends in its structure the characteristics of a time-optimal control law and the fine tracking properties of a properly tuned linear regulator. This study, addresses the (idealized) case of flexible structures that contain a single or dominant structural mode. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the XPTOS and delineate its range of applicability.
