TY - JOUR EP - 157 AV - public Y1 - 2016/07/26/ TI - Decentralised Stabilisation of Nonlinear Time Delay Interconnected Systems KW - Nonlinear interconnected systems; decentralised control; time delay; relative degree ID - discovery1531916 N2 - A decentralised state feedback control scheme is proposed to stabilise a class of nonlinear interconnected systems asymptotically based on the characteristics of the system structure. Under the condition that all the nominal isolated subsystems have uniform relative degree, the considered class of interconnected systems is transferred to a new interconnected system formed of single input systems, which facilitates the decentralised control design. A new term, weak mismatched uncertainty, is introduced for the first time to recognise a class of mismatched uncertainties in the isolated subsystems. The study shows that the effects of both matched and weak mismatched uncertainties in the isolated subsystems can be rejected completely by appropriate choice of control, and the effects of matched interconnections can be largely reduced if the control gain is sufficiently high.
