AN APPLICATION OF INTERPOLATING GAIN-SCHEDULING CONTROL

This work investigates an application of interpolating gain-scheduling control for a structural acoustic problem. The dynamics of the system under consideration are highly sensitive to variation in the temperature. Therefore, linear time invariant ℋ2 output feedback controllers are designed for different temperature conditions. Afterwards, these controllers are interpolated to provide a global discrete-time linear parameter-varying controller. The closed-loop stability is a posteriori guaranteed using recent less conservative analyses that consider bounds on the rate of variation of the temperature.
