TL;DR: It is shown that the calculation of the free response of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mass-hysteresis-spring system is amenable to an exact solution and appears to be an inherent property of the system pointing to the need for developing further analysis methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the identification and control of friction in a high load torque DC motor to the end of achieving accurate tracking is considered, and model-based feedback controllers are also considered, namely the DNPF and the gain scheduling controllers.

TL;DR: In this article, the gain-scheduling control approach for an experimental set-up containing a flexible beam of which the stiffness depends on its length is discussed, and analytically scheduled controllers are synthesized.

TL;DR: By fitting specific pole and zero loci on the poles and zeros of the local LTI models, an affine state-space model can be constructed and is suitable to be used for Linear- Parameter-Varying (LPV) control.

TL;DR: In this article, a gain-scheduling-control technique for industrial pick-and-place machines with position dependent dynamics is presented. But the proposed method fits in the framework of traditional gain scheduling, where several controllers designed for fixed operating points are interpolated to construct a global gain scheduling controller.
