Scale Free Bounds on the Amplification of Disturbances in Mass Chains

Pates, Richard LU and Yamamoto, Kaoru LU (2018) 2018 Annual American Control Conference, ACC 2018 2018-June. p.6002-6005
Abstract

We give a method for designing a mechanical impedance to suppress the propagation of disturbances along a chain of masses. The key feature of our method is that it is scale free. This means that it can be used to give a single, fixed, design, with provable performance guarantees in mass chains of any length. We illustrate the approach by designing a bidirectional control law in a vehicle platoon in a manner that is independent of the number of vehicles in the platoon.
