Abstract

Intelligent machines are capable of recognizing their operational condition and take actions towards optimality through an autonomous processing of information. Considering the importance of rotating machines in modern industry, this concept of intelligent machines can be applied to achieve high availability, thus avoiding interruptions in the production flow. In this work, a self-identification algorithm is proposed for the autonomous decision and control of a flexible shaft rotating system with electromagnetic actuators. Based on the D-decomposition technique, the algorithm searches in the domain of controller gains the best ones for P and PD controllers to reduce maximum peak response of the shaft. For that, frequency response functions of the system are automatically identified experimentally by the algorithm. It is demonstrated that regions of stable gains can be easily plotted, and the most suitable gains can be found to minimize the resonant peak of the system in an autonomous way, without human intervention.
