Title:A novel, Fourier series based method of control optimization and its application to a discontinuous capsule drive model
View PDFAbstract:This paper presents a novel, Fourier series based numerical method of open-loop control optimization. Due to its flexible assumptions, it can be applied in a large variety of systems, including discontinuous ones or even so-called black boxes, whose equations are not fully known. This aspect is particularly important in mechanical systems, where friction or impact induced discontinuities are common. The paper includes a mathematical background of the new method, a detailed discussion of the algorithm and a numerical example, in which control function of a discontinuous capsule drive is optimized. It is expected that the proposed method can facilitate research in all areas where control of non-smooth, discontinuous or black box systems is crucial. In particular, authors hope that the presented algorithm is going to be used for control optimization of other capsule drives.
