Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Validation of an Experimentally Derived Uncertainty Model
    (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 1998) Lim, K.B.; Cox, D.E.; Balas, Gary J.; Juang, J.N.
    The discrepancies between measurement data and an analytical nominal model for a large gapmagnetic suspension testbed is accounted for by an uncertainty model. The results show that uncertainty bounds corresponding to a combination of additive and diagonal input multiplicative uncertainty can be obtained directly by calculating the smallest norm of the difference between the measured and nominal model response. Use of the identified uncertainty model allowed a strong correlation between design predictions and experimental results. In addition, robust controllers based on the experimentally derived uncertainty model show significant stability and performance improvements over controllers designed with assumed ad hoc uncertainty levels.
