The Cushioned Oscillation is a simplified model of time optimal "stopping" of an oscillating object attached to a spring by applying a control and moving it back into the relaxed position and zero velocity.

Model formulation

An object with mass  m is attached to a spring with stiffness constant  c .

If the resetting spring force is proportional to the deviation x=x(t), an oscillation, induced by an external force u(t), satisfies:


               m\dot v (t) + cx(t) = u(t) (which is equivalent to \dot v (t) = \frac{1}{m}(u(t) - cx(t)))


where x(t) denotes the deviation to the relaxed position and  v(t)=\dot x (t) the velocity of the oscillating object.

Through external force, the object has been put into an initial state :

(x(0),v(0)) = (x_0,v_0)

The goal is to reset position and velocity of the object as fast as possible, meaning:

(x(t_f),v(t_f)) = (0,0),

with the objective function:

\min\limits_{t_f} t_f

Optimal Control Problem Formulation

The above results in the following OCP

 	\begin{array}{llll}

\min\limits_{x,v,u,t_f}  & t_f & & \\ 

s.t. & 	 \dot x & =  v,\\

& \dot v & =   \frac{1}{m}(u - c \cdot x),\\
\\
& x(0) & =  x_0,\\
& v(0) & =  v_0,\\
& x(t_f) & =  0,\\
& v(t_f) & =  0,\\
& |u| & \le  u_{mm}.\\
					 	
 		\end{array}

Parameters and Reference Solution

The following parameters were used, to create the reference solution below, with an almost optimal final time  t_f = 8.98 s:

 m=5,  c=10,  x_0=2,  v_0=5,  u_{mm}=5.

Reference Solution

The OCP was solved within MATLAB R2015b, using the TOMLAB Optimization Package. PROPT reformulates such problems with the direct collocation approach (n=80 collocation points) and automatically finds a suiting solver included in the TOMLAB Optimization Package (in this case, SNOPT was used).
