A New Minimum-Time Control Law for a One-Mode Model of a Flexible Slewing Structure - Addendum
In a previous article,(1) a set of five conditions were given to characterize the switching hypersurface of the minimum-time, single-axis controller for an undamped, one-mode model of a flexible slewing structure, The purpose of this paper is to show that the five conditions have been found to be reducible to three. This oversight is repaired, and a new plot of the three conditions in a two-dimensional plane is isolated to easily identify the switching strategy in real-time.
