Non-parametric linear time-invariant extensions of non-invertible and backlash plant

A rigorous basis is given for combined feedforward and feedback (2-degree-of-freedom) controller design using any robust linear control method, for realistically restricted disturbance and demand signals. The methodology theoretically validated in this paper led to a chassis (rolling-road) dynamometer experimental demonstration of a backlashed Ford Mondeo vehicle driveline controller at the 2012 IFAC Workshop on Engine and Powertrain Control Simulation and Modeling. Preliminary disclosure led to an invitation, to give a presention of the work in Jan 2013 to the Controls and Robotics Group, General Motors Advanced Technical Center in Israel (GM ATC-I) Herzliya Israel (Evidence file: Shenton3-1).
