Abstract In this paper modeling of an inverted pendulum is done using Euler – Lagrange energy equation for stabilization of the pendulum. The controller gain is evaluated through state feedback and Linear Quadratic optimal regulator controller techniques and also the results for both the controller are compared. The SFB controller is designed by Pole-Placement technique. An advantage of Quadratic Control method over the pole-placement techniques is that the former provides a systematic way of computing the state feedback control gain matrix.LQR controller is designed by the selection on choosing. The proposed system extends classical inverted pendulum by incorporating two moving masses. The motion of two masses that slide along the horizontal plane is controllable .The results of computer simulation for the system with Linear Quardatic Regulator (LQR) & State Feedback Controllers are shown in section 6.

flux, the armature resistance or the terminal voltage applied to the armature circuit. The three
most common speed control methods are field resistance control, armature voltage control,
and armature resistance control. But here a technique of drive has been used for DC motor’s
speed control is chopper and some power electronics devices. It has been shown here the use
of chopper and power electronics devices which paves the way of controlling also torque and

Troubleshooting and Enhancement of Inverted Pendulum System Controlled by DSP...Thomas Templin
An inverted pendulum is a pendulum that has its center of mass above its pivot point. It is often implemented with the pivot point mounted on a cart that can move horizontally and may be called a cart-and-pole system. A normal pendulum is always stable since the pendulum hangs downward, whereas the inverted pendulum is inherently unstable and trivially underactuated (because the number of actuators is less than the degrees of freedom). For these reasons, the inverted pendulum has become one of the most important classical problems of control engineering. Since the 1950s, the inverted-pendulum benchmark, especially the cart version, has been used for the teaching and understanding of the use of linear-feedback control theory to stabilize an open-loop unstable system.
The objectives of this project are to:
• Focus on hardware and software troubleshooting and enhancement of an inverted-pendulum system controlled by a DSP28355 microprocessor and CCSv7.1 software.
• Use the swing-up strategy to move the pendulum into the unstable upward position (‘saddle’). The cart/pole system employs linear bearings for back-and-forward motion. The motor shaft has a pinion gear that rides on a track permitting the cart to move in a linear fashion. Both rack and pinion are made of hardened steel and mesh with a tight tolerance. The rack-and-pinion mechanism eliminates undesirable effects found in belt-driven and free-wheel systems, such as slippage or belt stretching, ensuring consistent and continuous traction.
• The motor shaft is coupled to a high-resolution optical encoder that accurately measures the position of the cart. The angle of the pendulum is also measured by an optical encoder, and the system employs an LQR controller to stabilize the pendulum rod at the unstable-equilibrium position.
• Addition of real-time status reporting and visualization of the system.
For the project, the Quanser High Frequency Linear Cart (HFLC) was used. The HFLC system consists of a precisely machined solid aluminum cart driven by a high-power 3-phase brushless DC motor. The cart slides along two high-precision, ground-hardened stainless steel guide rails, allowing for multiple turns and continuous measurement over the entire range of motion.
Our team implemented a control strategy that consists of a linear stabilizing LQR controller, proportional-integral swing-up control, and a supervisory coordinator that determines the control strategy (LQR or swing-up) to be used at any given time. The function of the linear stabilizer is to stabilize the system when it is in the vicinity of the unstable equilibrium. When the pendulum is in its natural state (straight-down stable-equilibrium node), the swing-up controller provides the cart/pendulum system with adequate energy to move the pendulum to the unstable equilibrium inside the “region of attraction” in which the linearized LQR controller is functional.

In this paper, modelling design and analysis of a triple inverted pendulum have been done using
Matlab/Script toolbox. Since a triple inverted pendulum is highly nonlinear, strongly unstable
without using feedback control system. In this paper an optimal control method means a linear
quadratic regulator and pole placement controllers are used to stabilize the triple inverted
pendulum upside. The impulse response simulation of the open loop system shows us that the
pendulum is unstable. The comparison of the closed loop impulse response simulation of the
pendulum with LQR and pole placement controllers results that both controllers have stabilized
the system but the pendulum with LQR controllers have a high overshoot with long settling time
than the pendulum with pole placement controller. Finally the comparison results prove that the
pendulum with pole placement controller improve the stability of the system.

This paper proposed a nonlinear robust control for spacecraft attitude based on passivity and
disturbance suppression vector. The spacecraft model was described using quaternion. The control law
introduced the suppression vector of external disturbances and had no information related to the system
parameters. The desired performance of spacecraft attitude control could be achieved using the designed
control law. And stability conditions of the nonlinear robust control for spacecraft attitude were given. The
stability could be proved by applying Lyapunov approach. The verification of the proposed attitude control
method was performed through a series of simulations. The numerical results showed the effectiveness of
the proposed control method in controlling the spacecraft attitude in the presence of external disturbances.
The main benefit of the proposed attitude control method does not need angular velocity measurement
and has its robustness against model uncertainties and external disturbances.

Navigation of Mobile Inverted Pendulum via Wireless control using LQR TechniqueIJMTST Journal
Mobile Inverted Pendulum (MIP) is a non-linear robotic system. Basically it is a Self-balancing robot
working on the principle of Inverted pendulum, which is a two wheel vehicle, balances itself up in the vertical
position with reference to the ground. It has four configuration variables (Cart position, Cart Velocity,
Pendulum angle, Pendulum angular velocity) to be controlled using only two control inputs. Hence it is an
Under-actuated system. This paper focuses on control of translational acceleration and deceleration of the
MIP in a dynamically reasonable manner using LQR technique. The body angle and MIP displacement are
controlled to maintain reference states where the MIP is statically unstable but dynamically stable which
leads to a constant translational acceleration due to instability of the vehicle. In this proposal, the
implementation of self balancing robot with LQR control strategy and the implementation of navigation
control of the bot using a wireless module is done. The simulation results were compared between PID control
and LQR control strategies.

LMI based antiswing adaptive controller for uncertain overhead cranes IJECEIAES
This paper proposes an adaptive anti-sway controller for uncertain overhead cranes. The state-space model of the 2D overhead crane with the system parameter uncertainties is shown firstly. Next, the adaptive controller which can adapt with the system uncertainties and input disturbances is established. The proposed controller has ability to move the trolley to the destination in short time and with small oscillation of the load despite the effect of the uncertainties and disturbances. Moreover, the controller has simple structure so it is easy to execute. Also, the stability of the closed-loop system is analytically proven. The proposed algorithm is verified by using Matlab/ Simulink simulation tool. The simulation results show that the presented controller gives better performances (i.e., fast transient response, no ripple, and low swing angle) than the state feedback controller when there exist system parameter variations as well as input disturbances.

Design and Simulation of Different Controllers for Stabilizing Inverted Pendu...IJERA Editor
The Inverted Pendulum system has been identified for implementing controllers as it is an inherently unstable system having nonlinear dynamics. The system has fewer control inputs than degrees of freedom which makes it fall under the class of under-actuated systems. It makes the control task more challenging making the inverted pendulum system a classical benchmark for the design, testing, evaluating and comparing. The inverted pendulum to be discussed in this paper is an inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart. The aim is to stabilize the system such that the position of the cart on the track is controlled quickly and accurately so that the pendulum is always erected in its vertical position. In this paper the linearized model was obtained by Jacobian matrix method. The Matlab-Simulink models have been developed for simulation for optimal control design of nonlinear inverted pendulum-cart dynamic system using different control methods. The methods discussed in this paper are a double Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control method, a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control method and a combination of PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methods. The dynamic and steady state performance are investigated and compared for the above controllers.
Nonlinear Control of an Active Magnetic Bearing with Output ConstraintIJECEIAES
In this paper, an appropriate control strategy is proposed to handle the nonlinear dy- namics of an active magnetic bearing (AMB). The goal of the control design is to drive the AMB rotor to the origin with improved transient response. In order to achieve this task, back stepping control technique with a barrier Lyapunov function are employed to keep the tracking error trajectory inside a predefined zone to avoid possible mechanical contact between rotor and stator. Besides, a speed observer is also used since information about rotor speed is not always available. The stability of the closed-loop system is proven. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by numerical simulations.

The permanent magnet linear motors are widely used in various industrial applications due to its advantages in comparisons with rotary motors such as mechanical durability and directly creating linear motions without gears or belts. The main difficulties of its control design are that the control performances include the tracking of position and velocity as well as guarantee limitations of the voltage control and its variation. In this work, a cascade control strategy including an inner and an outer loop is applied to synchronous linear motor. Particularly, an offline MPC controller based on MPP method and Laguerre model was proposed for inner loop and the outer controller was designed with the aid of nonlinear damping method. The numerical simulation was implemented to validate performance of the proposed controller under voltage input constraints.
Neural Network Control Based on Adaptive Observer for Quadrotor HelicopterIJITCA Journal
A neural network control scheme with an adaptive observer is proposed in this paper to Quadrotor helicopter stabilization. The unknown part in Quadrotor dynamical model was estimated on line by a Single Hidden Layer network. To solve the non measurable states problem a new adaptive observer was proposed. The main purpose here is to reduce the measurement noise amplification caused by conventional high gain observer by introducing some changes in observer’s original structure that can minimize the variance and the amplitude of the noisy signal without increasing tracking error. The stability analysis of the overall closed-loop system/ observer is performed using the Lyapunov direct method. Simulation results are given to highlight the performances of the proposed scheme

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.

Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Integrated watershed development and management is the accepted answer but in turn requires a comprehensive framework that can
enable planning process involving all the stakeholders at different levels and scales is compulsory. Such a unified hydrological
framework is essential to evaluate the cause and effect of all the proposed actions within the drainage basins.
The present paper describes a hydrological framework developed in the form of a Hydrologic Information System (HIS) which is
intended to meet the specific information needs of the various line departments of a typical State connected with water related aspects.
The HIS consist of a hydrologic information database coupled with tools for collating primary and secondary data and tools for
analyzing and visualizing the data and information. The HIS also incorporates hydrological model base for indirect assessment of
various entities of water balance in space and time. The framework would be maintained and updated to reflect fully the most

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Effect of variation of plastic hinge length on the results of non linear anal...eSAT Journals
Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Effect of use of recycled materials on indirect tensile strength of asphalt c...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract
In this paper modeling of an inverted pendulum is done using Euler – Lagrange energy equation for stabilization of the pendulum. The
controller gain is evaluated through state feedback and Linear Quadratic optimal regulator controller techniques and also the results
for both the controller are compared. The SFB controller is designed by Pole-Placement technique. An advantage of Quadratic
Control method over the pole-placement techniques is that the former provides a systematic way of computing the state feedback
control gain matrix.LQR controller is designed by the selection on choosing. The proposed system extends classical inverted
pendulum by incorporating two moving masses. The motion of two masses that slide along the horizontal plane is controllable .The
results of computer simulation for the system with Linear Quardatic Regulator (LQR) & State Feedback Controllers are shown in
section 6.

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the most celebrated and well – publicized problems in
control system is Inverted Pendulum[3,4] or broom balancer
problem. This is an unstable system[1,17]] that may model a
rocket before launch. Almost all known and novel control
techniques have been tested on IP problem.This is a classical
problem in dynamics and control theory[2,5] and is widely
used as a benchmark[16] for testing control algorithms(PID
controllers, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), neural
networks, fuzzy logic control, genetic algorithms, etc)[7,8].The
inverted pendulum is unstable[11] in the sense that it may fall
over any time in any direction unless a suitable control force is
applied. The control objective of the inverted pendulum is to
swing up[4] the pendulum hinged on the moving cart by a
linear motor[12] from stable position (vertically down state) to
the zero state(vertically upward state)[6,9] and to keep the
pendulum in vertically upward state in spite of the
disturbance[10,13].It is highly nonlinear[12,15], but it can be
easily be controlled by using linear controllers in an almost
vertical position[18]. If the system is controllable or at leasr
stabilizable, this method gives excellent stability margins. The
guaranteed margins in LQR design are 60 degree phase margin,
infinite gain margin ,and -6dB gain reduction margin.
2. MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF PHYSICAL
SYSTEM
The inverted pendulum is a classical problem in dynamics and
control theory and is widely used as a benchmark for testing
control algorithms.
𝑥1 = 𝑥 + 𝑙 sin 𝜃
𝑦1 = 𝑙 cos 𝜃 𝜃 𝑚𝑔 𝑙
𝐹 𝑀 𝑥
Fig 1 : The Inverted Pendulum System
Let the new ordinate of the centre of gravity of the pendulum
be (x1, y1).
Define the angle of the rod from the vertical (reference) line
as θ and displacement of the cart as x. Also assume the force
applied to the system is F , g be the acceleration due to gravity
and l be the half length of the pendulum rod, v , and w be the
translational and angular velocity of the cart and pendulum.
The physical model of the system is shown in fig (1).
Therefore,
𝑥1 = 𝑥 + 𝑙 sin 𝜃
𝑦1 = 𝑙 cos 𝜃
𝑥1 = 𝑥 + 𝑙𝜃 cos 𝜃
𝑦1 = 𝑙𝜃 sin 𝜃

Let V1 be the resultant velocity of pendulum & cart,

Now the Potential energy of the pendulum,

The above equation shows the dynamics of the entire system.
In order to derive the linear differential equation modelling, we
need to linearaize the non linear differtional equation obtained
as above so far. For small angle deviation around the upright
equilibrium (fig.2) point assume
sin θ = θ, cos θ = 1, θ2
= 0
Using above relation we can write as,
rθ+qx-kθ+d =0………..(3)
px + qθ + bx = F …….(4)
Where, (M + m)= p, mgl=k, ml=q, I + ml2

Eq (3&4) is the linear differential equation modeling of the
entire system.

4. STATE FEEDBACK CONTROLLER DESIGN
CONDITIONS:
Our problem is to have a closed loop system having an
overshoot of 10% and settling time of 1 sec. Since the
overshoot
MP=e−π ξ 1− ξ2
=0.1.
Therefore, ξ = 0.591328 and wn=6.7644 rad/sec. The dominant
poles are at=-4 ± j5.45531, the third and fourth pole are placed
5 & 10 times deeper into the s-plane than the dominant poles.
Hence the desired characteristics equation:-
s4 + 68s3 +845.7604s2 +9625.6s + 36608.32 =0
Let gain, k= [k1 k2 k3 k4]

Closed loop characteristics equation:
S4 +(0.0765-k4)s3 +(-6.8963 + k3)s2 +(-0.2346 +k2)s +k1 = 0
Comparing all the coefficient of above equation we found
K 1 = [36608.32 9625.8346 852.6567 -67.9235]

Similarly if the poles are are placed 2 & 3 times and also 12 &

we got the value of k 2 & k3 as,

5. LQR DESIGN
A system can be expressed in state variable form as
x = Ax + Bu
with x(t)∈R N
, u(t)∈ R N
. The initial condition is x(0) . We
assume here that all the states are measurable and seek to find a
state-variable feedback (SVFB) control
u = −Kx + v
that gives desired closed-loop properties.
The closed-loop system using this control becomes
x = (A- BK) x+ Bv= Ac x+ Bv
with Ac the closed-loop plant matrix and v the new command
input.
Ackermann's formula gives a SVFB K that places the poles of
the closed-loop system at desired location . To design a SVFB
that is optimal, we may define the performance index J as
J =
1
2
XT∞
0
Q + KT
RK Xdt
We assume that input v(t) is equal to zero since our only
concern here are the internal stability properties of the closed
loop system.
The objective in optimal design is to select the SVFB K that
minimizes the performance index J.
The two matrices Q (an n× n matrix) and R (an m × n matrix)
are of appropriate dimension.
One should select Q to be positive semi-definite and R to be
positive definite. Since the plant is linear and the performance
index is quadratic, the problem of determining the SVFB K to
minimize J is called the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR).To
find the optimal feedback gain matrix K we proceed as
follows. Suppose there exists a constant matrix P such that
d
dt
xT
Px = −xT
Q + KT
RK X
After some mathematical manipulation, the equation becomes,
J = −
1
2
d
dt
xT
Px dt =
1
2
∞
0
xT
0 Px(0)
Where, we assumed that the closed-loop system is stable so
that XT
goes to zero as time t goes to infinity. Substituting the
values we get,
xTPx + xT
Px + xT
Qx + xT
KT
RKx = 0
xT
AT
cPx + xT
PAcx + xT
Qx + xT
KT
RKx = 0
xT
(Ac
T
P + PAc + Q+KT
RKx)x = 0
It has been assumed that the external control v(t) is equal to
zero. Now note that the last equation has to hold for every XT
.
Therefore, the term in brackets must be identically equal to
zero. Thus, proceeding one sees that
(A − BK)T
P + P A − BK + Q + KT
RK = 0
AT
P + PA + Q + KT
RK − KT
BT
P − PBK = 0
This is a matrix quadratic equation. Exactly as for the scalar
case, one may complete the squares. Though this procedure is a
bit complicated for matrices, suppose we select
K = R−1
BT
P
Then, there results
AT
P + PA + Q − PBR−
BT
P = 0

CONCLUSIONS
Modeling of inverted pendulum shows that system is unstable
with non-minimum phase zero.Results of applying state
feedback controllers show that the system can be stabilized.
while LQR controller method is cumbersome because of
selection of constants of controller. Constant of the controllers
can be tuned by some soft computing techniques for better
result.Fuzzy logic controller can be use in equation (1&2)
would help finding out the solution of non-linear differential
equations thus helping towards the design of non-linear
controller.
