Abstract
In this paper, the linear programming (LP) technique is used as a new approach to compute the feedforward function to drive a single-link flexible arm from a specified initial position to a desired final position. This not only achieves near-minimum-time performance in terms of both moving time for the rigid mode and settling time for the controlled vibratory modes but also limits the vibration to an acceptable level. The one-link flexible arm is modeled as a continuous pinned-free beam, which is driven by a DC motor. For a given set of parameters, the results from numerical simulations are presented. The performance of the control system developed on the basis of the LP approach with only an input constraint has been found to be comparable to that of the bang-bang control.
