The method proposed above is implemented. Thus, the controller is modified with a
varying p to ensure the system convergence and to enhance the robustness of the
optimal ILC. For the first cycle, the control input is set to be a constant value, 10%,
the same as the last experiment. The gain matrix S (t) and the feed-forward term in
Eqs. 3.31-3.33 are then calculated with p = 1.0, to ensure a rapid control response
convergence. For the following cycles, p is set to decrease exponentially with the
increase of the cycle number k, in a relation of p =0.6k-1. The material HDPE is used
as in the last experiment, and the velocity is controlled to follow the same step-
change profile as in the previous case. The resulting velocity responses are given in
Fig. 3.11(b)
It can be observed that the velocity response of the second cycle converges rapidly, as
shown by the dotted line in Fig. 3.11(a). The control of the Sixth cycle has already
converged rapidly, as plotted by the dash-dotted line. The solid line shows the result
of the tenth cycle: the velocity tracks the set-point trajectory closely, despite the delay
in the initial injection stage that was caused by the flow and charge of the hydraulic
system. It is obvious that the control oscillation has been eliminated after the
implementation of the proposed modification. The control response converges
quickly, and the control system in stable with an increase in the cycle numbers.
