本論文之主要目的是對含有多個非線性元件的多輸入多輸出控制 系統(MIMO Control Systems)作極限環(Limit Cycle)分析。本論文 與其他文獻不同之處是將穩定方程式法(Stability Eqution Method) 加以延伸,用以預測極限環的大小和頻率,藉此對多輸入多輸出非線 性控制系統之極限環分析方面建立一有系統的方法。若多輸入多輸出 控制系統之結構有相互對稱之關係時,則可先簡化成多個單輸入單輸 出控制系統,然後用穩定方程式法分析。文中的舉例包含二輸入二輸 出系統和三輸入三輸出系統。另外,對一個有六個非線性體的系統也 加以分析。全部分析結果都用電腦模擬加以比對。
The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the limit cycles of nonlinear multi-input multi-output control systems. An extension of the stability-equation method is proposed to find the amplitudes and frequencies of limit cycles. When a multi-input multi-output control system is symmetrical, it can be converted into multiple singal-input singal-output control systems first, then the stability-equation method is applied. For illustration, both two-input two-output systems and three-input three-output control systems are considered. In addition, a system with six nonlinearities is analyzed. All the results are checked by computer simulations.
