This book joins new modifications of classical relay feedback test with application-specific optimal tuning rules to form a non-parametric test-and-tuning method. Includes problems of optimization and identification accompanied by downloadable MATLAB (R) code.
This book covers nonlinear dynamic modeling and stability analysis of flexible riser systems, advanced control design for an installation system with a single rigid payload attached by thrusters, robust adaptive control for mooring systems and other topics.
The material presented in this book addresses the analysis and design of learning control systems. The text follows with a complete and unifying analysis of the learning control problem for linear LTI systems using a system-theoretic approach which offers insight into the nature of the solution of the learning control problem.
The analysis and computational techniques associated with the navigation and guidance of spacecraft are now in a mature state of development. Attention is paid to all phases of a space mission including launch and re-entry, and whether culminating in an earth satellite or a deep space mission to planets or primitive bodies.
Voltage Control and Protection in Electrical Power Systems
This book explores the research and development of fully-functional miniature rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). It also provides a complete treatment of their design and examines possible future research directions.
This book reviews the theoretical fundamentals of grey-box identification and puts the spotlight on MoCaVa, a MATLAB-compatible software tool, for facilitating the procedure of effective grey-box identification. It demonstrates the application of MoCaVa using two case studies drawn from the paper and steel industries.
