Abstract
A method for generating on-off command profiles for flexible systems is pre sented. The command profiles move a system without residual vibration while using a specified amount of actuator fuel. Robustness to modeling errors c an be incorporated into the design of the command signals. Techniques are p resented that facilitate implementation and indicate prudent choices for th e amount of fuel to be used. The method is compared to other command genera tion techniques that balance fuel usage and slew time.
