Geometric energy based analysis and controller design of hydraulic actuators applied in rolling mills

The two main goals of this contribution are to demonstrate the integration of hydraulic actuator systems with PCH systems and to discuss a modification of the well known input-output linearization in connection with PCH systems. We will show that this approach is closely related to the existence of so called Casimir functions in the PCH context. Finally, industrial measurements demonstrating the implemented control law will be presented.
