Abstract

© 2015 American Automatic Control Council. Backlash and Coulomb friction occurring in systems with mechanical transmissions produce undesired inaccuracies, oscillations, and instability thereby degrading the system performance. In this paper, we made a comparative analysis of a nonsmooth H<inf>∞</inf> controller [1] vs. a linear H<inf>∞</inf> controller applied to a two-mass drive system with flexible shaft including backlash and Coulomb friction using measurements of the motor. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the nonsmooth H<inf>∞</inf> synthesis, whereas the linear H<inf>∞</inf>-controller does not attenuate the undesirable oscillations in the control signals and the plant outputs.
