This dataset contains all experimental results presented in the paper "Model Predictive Position Control for Electrically Preloaded Rack-and-Pinion Drives".

The paper presents a cascaded model predictive control approach to increase the accuracy and dynamics of an electrically preloaded rack-and-pinion drive. Three different internal models for the model predictive controller, each with a different model order, are investigated and compared. The proposed control approach is validated in real-time on a test bench, and experimental results show improved position control in comparison to a standard proportional controller with feedforward control.

This dataset is structured accoring to the figures with experimental results in the paper:

  data_Fig4: Data for the frequency response of the closed loop velocity controlled plant with the approximated models.
  data_Fig5: Data for the frequency response of the closed loop transfer function for the controllers compared.
  data_Fig6: Data for the comparison of the cascaded controllers.
  data_Fig7: Data for the comparison of the disturbance rejection behavior.
