Nonlinear uncertainty model of a magnetic suspension system

Abstract

The nonlinear identification of a nominal model as well as the uncertainty bounds of a magnetic suspension system is developed. This system has a nonsymmetric dynamic behavior; it has an undershoot but not an overshoot. The proposed model structure is a cascade of a global linear fuzzy dynamic block followed by a piecewise linear function. This model structure allows a proper identification of the system dynamic and a tight description of the uncertainties.
