In this paper, we study linear motion dependent systems, where the signal of interest is in nature periodic with respect to a position but aperiodic in time when the system speed varies. Among such kind of systems, a free piston engine equipped with camless valvetrain hasadvantages like low maintenance costs, less frictional losses etc.. That controlling the profile of valve timing in order to achieve better fuel efficiency is a very interesting but challenging topic. We show how to connect the formulation of those kind of systems to angle-dependent systems or more general time-varying systems. Then we apply the developed internal model-based design for time-varying systems to controlthe free piston engine valve actuation.We treat the augmented system linear parameter-varying (LPV), and utilize an output feedback gain-scheduling design to stabilize the augmented system. Simulation results illustrate the proposed control algorithm.
