Conclusions
The presented double-path compensating controller satisfies
the requirements of performance, sensitivity to modeling errors, arid simplicity for on board implementation. This structure induces the system to follow the faithful model filter in
the same fashion as the model reference adaptive scheme induces the system to follow the reference model. This analogy
could be explored in future works by applying the model
reference algorithms to the proposed structure.

15, 17, and 19 are given in Ref. 4, By adoption of a secondorder work model, the FDPC controller obtained is fourthorder, while the LO is second-order. This one is used here for
comparisons because it is less sensitive to vibration frequency
variations and to high-order vibration modes.4"5 References
4-5 show the sensitivity analysis and simulation results for second and Higher-order controllers.
The initial solutions (IS) and final solutions (FS) for the
FDPC and LO controllers are presented in Table 1. The initial
stable solutions were taken from Ref. 3. The weighing
parameters for the performance index [Eq. (5)J were chosen
according to the response in angular drift and velocity (Al),
actuator requirements (B), filters behavior (A3,A4) and
response of the truncated modes (A2). Al was assumed
diagonal with the two nonnull elements equal to I x l O 4 ;
A2,A3 were assumed null matrices; A4 was assumed identity
matrix; and the parameter B was taken equal to one.
The sensitivity to the variation of the first modal frequency
was tested by changing it by 20%. Both controllers have
shown to be low-sensitive. Simulations using digital integrations were performed for the fourteenth-order evaluation
model. A control pulse u = 20. during .02 s sets the initial conditions. For the evaluation model, the performance of the LO
controller became degraded, especially when the ninth vibration mode was introduced. However, the FDPC controller

OBSERVER ESTIMATE
IV. Conclusions
Reduced-order observer theory has been successfully applied to hydromechanical servoactuators. States and a
parameter of the actuator have been estimated with minimal
estimation error. This could lead to significant developments
in fluid power control in that it opens the door to backup provisions, as well as to performance enhancement and failure
detection of actuation systems. The measurement system
chosen was realistic, and thus successful practical implementation of such a scheme seems almost certain.
