This paper presents a robust nonlinear control scheme with time-varying output constraint for the electro-hydraulic force control system (EHFCS). Two typical double-rod symmetrical hydraulic cylinders are employed to simulate force environments in the EHFCS. Therefore, in order to improve the perfor...

description This paper presents a robust nonlinear control scheme with time-varying output constraint for the electro-hydraulic force control system (EHFCS). Two typical double-rod symmetrical hydraulic cylinders are employed to simulate force environments in the EHFCS. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of the EHFCS, firstly, the model of the EHFCS is established with taking external disturbances, parameter uncertainties as well as structural vibrations into consideration. Secondly, in order to estimate external disturbances, parameter uncertainties and structural vibrations in the EHFCS and compensate them in the following robust controller design, two disturbance observers (DOs) are designed according to the nonlinear system model. Thirdly, with two estimation values from two DOs, a time-varying constraint-based robust controller (TVCRC) is presented in detail. Moreover, the stability of the proposed controller is analyzed by defining a proper Lyapunov functions. Finally, in order to validate the performance of the proposed controller, a series of simulation studies are conducted using the MATLAB/Simulink software. These simulation results give a fine proof of the efficiency of the proposed controller. What’s more, an experimental setup of the EHFCS is established to further validate the performance. Comparative experimental results show that the proposed controller exhibits better performance than the TVCRC without two DOs and a conventional proportional integral (PI) controller.
