Popis: Control of the heat diffusion in the welded metal is of primary importance for successful welding of high quality (the latter being a prerequisite for efficient ship building). The paper proposes a distributed parameter systems control method that is based on differential flatness theory, aiming at solving the problem of heat distribution control in the arc-welding process. Besides it proposes a nonlinear filtering method, under the name Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filtering for reducing the number of real-time control measurements needed to implement the feedback control loop. The stability of the control method is confirmed analytically, while its efficiency is also evaluated through simulation experiments.
