Control Engineering

Control Engineering

Since its inception the Tutorial Guides in Electronic Engineering series has met with great success among both instructors and students. Designed for first- and second-year undergraduate courses each text provides a concise list of objectives at the beginning of every chapter key definitions and formulas highlighted in margin notes and references to other texts in the series. With emphasis on the fundamental ideas and applications of modelling and design Control Engineering imparts a thorough understanding of the principles of feedback control. Simple but detailed design examples used throughout the book illustrate how various classical feedback control techniques can be employed for single-input single-output systems. Noting the interdisciplinary nature of control engineering the author makes the text equally relevant to students whose interests lie outside of electronics by concentrating on general systems characteristics rather than on specific implementations. The author assumes students are familiar with complex numbers phasors and elementary calculus and while a knowledge of simple linear differential equations would be useful this treatment has few other mathematical requirements. With its clear explanations copious illustrations well-chosen examples and end-of-chapter exercises Control Engineering forms an outstanding first-course textbook.

High-Speed Precision Motion Control

Edited by Takashi Yamaguchi Mitsuo Hirate and Chee Khiang Pang with contributions from pioneers known for their ground-breaking work High-Speed Precision Motion Control discusses high-precision and fast servo controls in hard disk drives (HDDs). The chapter authors describe the control technologies they’ve developed most of which have already been successfully applied to mass production of HDDs. As the proposed methodologies have been verified on commercial HDDs at the very least these advanced control technologies can also be readily applied to precision motion control of other mechatronic systems e. g. scanners micro-positioners photocopiers atomic force microscopes (AFMs) etc. Each self-contained chapter progresses from concept to technique and presents application examples in automotive aerospace aeronautical and manufacturing engineering. The control technologies are categorized into high-speed servo control precision control and environment-friendly control making it easy to find an appropriate control technology according to their domain of application. The book also makes MATLAB®/SIMULINK® codes for benchmark problems available for download. The control technologies described range from fundamental classical control theories to advanced topics such as multi-rate control. The content contains a healthy balance between materials from the contributor’s research works and that in the wider literature. The resulting resource empowers engineers and managers with the knowledge and know-how to make important decisions and policies.

Iterative Learning Control over Random Fading Channels

Iterative Learning Control over Random Fading Channels

Random fading communication is a type of attenuation damage of data over certain propagation media. Establishing a systematic framework for the design and analysis of learning control schemes the book studies in depth the iterative learning control for stochastic systems with random fading communication. The authors introduce both cases where the statistics of the random fading channels are known in advance and unknown. They then extend the framework to other systems including multi-agent systems point-to-point tracking systems and multi-sensor systems. More importantly a learning control scheme is established to solve the multi-objective tracking problem with faded measurements which can help practical applications of learning control for high-precision tracking of networked systems. The book will be of interest to researchers and engineers interested in learning control data-driven control and networked control systems. | Iterative Learning Control over Random Fading Channels

Design of Optimal Feedback for Structural Control

Design of Optimal Feedback for Structural Control

Structural control is an approach aimed at the suppressing unwanted dynamic phenomena in civil structures. It proposes the use of methods and tools from control theory for the analysis and manipulation of a structure’s dynamic behavior with emphasis on suppression of seismic and wind responses. This book addresses problems in optimal structural control. Its goal is to provide solutions and techniques for these problems by using optimal control theory. Thus it deals with the solution of optimal control design problems related to passive and semi-active controlled structures. The formulated problems consider constraints and excitations which are common in structural control. Optimal control theory is used in order to solve these problems in a rigorous manner. Even though there are many works in this field none comprise optimization techniques with firm theoretical background that address the solution of passive and semi-active structural control design problems. The book begins with a discussion on models which are commonly used for civil structures and control actuators. Modern theoretical notions such as dissipativity and passivity of dynamic systems are discussed in context of the addressed problems. Optimal control theory and suitable successive methods are reviewed. Novel solutions for optimal passive and semi-active control design problems are derived based on firm theoretical foundations. These results are verified by numerical simulations of typical civil structures which are subjected to different types of dynamic excitations. | Design of Optimal Feedback for Structural Control

Control for Aluminum Production and Other Processing Industries

Control for Aluminum Production and Other Processing Industries

An uncomfortable observation in the Shift Logs and Process Control records of most aluminum smelting plants is that process control failures large and small happen every day. Although only a small fraction of these failures give rise to catastrophic events the difference between a disaster we read about and a failure which although expensive has no irreversible consequences is only chance. Control for Aluminum Production and Other Processing Industries exemplifies new control thinking fused with an understanding of process variability and how to diagnose abnormalities and their causes in aluminum production plants. Many real life examples in the book demonstrate the importance of human behavior and a scientific questioning approach in the control of a technologically complex process. Written from the perspective of production staff and management the book also gives readers a view into the human aspects of accidents and their analogy with failures in control of production. Production plants regularly experience more control failures than successes and staff must continuously strive to establish stability and control of their process. Through on-the-job experiences of the authors and their industry colleagues the control experiences described in this book provide readers with a foundation for building their own robust control rationale and a framework for avoidance of plant control problems.
