Description
Summary:This dissertation presents the approaches on the analysis and synthesis of magnetic suspension controller design and digital implementation. A finite element (FE) based, flexible shaft supported by magnetic bearings (MB) is first studied in a closed loop system with a conventional controller. The FE model of the rotor system is employed to develop a magnetic suspension compensator to provide reliable operation and good disturbance rejection from zero to nominal operating speed. Based on the fully nonlinear magnetic bearing model, a later model fuzzy logic controller is utilized to obtain an improved performance of a high order nonlinear system for a large motion tracking problem. Analytical formulation of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is given based on Tagaki-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) architecture to deal with all nonlinearities of the system. An algorithm for approximating the TSK model to the Mamdani model is then developed. Finally, a digital signal processor (DSP) is used to implement the controller on a real time basis. A method to use the LabVIEW package for auxiliary signal processing as well as a friendly graphical user interface is developed.
