Abstract:
In this thesis, pole assignment problem, one of the most commonly used control schemes, is considered and special emphasis is given on the application of available pole assingment algorithms in multi-input systems. Various methods such as Ackermann's Procedure, ModaI ControI, Direct Design Procedure and Phase-Variable Canonical Form are explained for determining the required feedback gains for arbitrary pole assignment in single-input systems. Chapter II which includes also the methods developed for the multivariable systems. In Chapter III, the squeeze film-bearing theory is presented. Squeeze-film bearing equations, oil-film coefficients and the coordinate transformations are derived. In Chapter IV, the selected models and their characteristics are discussed. State feedback control is applied to a rotor bearing system and the computer program is developed. In Chapter V, the general conclusions of thesis are given.
