Abstract

A control law is derived for full-state feedback control of the single-phase Stefan problem, used as a model of industrial casting processes. A conceptually novel controller design approach is proposed for this problem, with the control law chosen to ensure exponential stability of the average enthalpy, and proven to guarantee asymptotic convergence of both the temperature field and the solidification front position to a desired reference. A plausible output feedback control algorithm is also given that demonstrates good behavior in simulation.
