Abstract

Control theory of nonlinear systems receives continuously increasing attention. System nonlinearity occurs when at least one subsystem is nonlinear. Classical methods used for linear systems, particularly superposition, are not applicable to the nonlinear systems. It is necessary to use other methods to study the control of these systems. For a wide class of nonlinear systems, a rather important feature is the strong coupling nonlinearity between spectrally decoupled parts. Even in the case of low frequencies, where lumped models can still be employed the nonlinear coupling between parts of the system requires specific treatment, using advanced mathematical tools. A frequency domain approach is employed for systems with linearly decoupled but nonlinearly coupled subsystems. The Hilbert transform is appropriately introduced for obtaining two low-pass subsystems that form an equivalent description of the essential overall system dynamics. The nonlinear coupled dynamics is investigated systematically by partitioning the coupled system state vector in such a way as to fully exploit the low-pass and the band-pass intrinsic features of free dynamics. In particular, by employing the Hilbert Transform, a low-pass equivalent system is derived. Then, a typical case is investigated via numerical simulation of the original coupled low and band-pass, real-state-variable system and the low-pass-equivalent, complex-state-variable derived one. The nonlinear model equations considered here enable a systematic investigation of nonlinear feedback control options to operate mechatronic transducers in energy harvesting, sensing or actuation modes.
