Description:
The Mini-Mast system is briefly reviewed, and results of a simulation study of the LQG control for the Mini-Mast experiment are reported. In particular, attention is given to problems and limitations related to the testing of control laws using reaction mass actuators, such as accounting for force and stroke limits of these devices. The local controller used in the study and the algorithm for converting the force commands of the LQG algorithm to position commands for the reaction mass device are described. It is shown that the LQG generated damping is reduced when a local controller is used and the position command is not saturated; it drops still further when the position command is saturated.
