Abstract:
An electric power steering apparatus includes a control section that includes a feed-back control section which sets a viscoelastic model as a reference model within a predetermined angle at front of a rack end. The feed-back control section includes a feed-back element to calculate a target rack displacement based on an input-side rack axial force and a control element to output an output-side rack axial force based on a position deviation between the target rack displacement and a rack displacement.
