spec. The next spec is the Gust Rejection spec (HldNmH1) which was used to ensure<br />

that the system had some level of capability to account for disturbances. On the next row<br />

are the Actuator RMS spec (RmsAcG1) and the Crossover Frequency spec (CrsLnG1).<br />

Both of these two specs serve to reduce the energy and computational requirements of the<br />

control system after the performance and stability specs have been met. Thus, these<br />

specs were designated as summed objective specs. They might have worked just as well<br />

as objective specs, but tying them together with the summed objective reduces the<br />

chances of the optimization routine getting stuck. All specs were connected to the lateral<br />

channel of the block diagram.<br />

Figure 57 - Evaluation of initial gains<br />

Using the original set of gains, the system was evaluated, resulting in Figure 57.<br />

All specs were in Level 1 except for the Bandwidth spec which, was Level 2. The<br />

optimization was started using the dp=0 stop condition. The problem ran for 41<br />

iterations, stopping with the message: “The design parameters haven’t varied in the last 3<br />

iterations.” The results of the optimization were as shown in Figure 58.<br />
