About this title

Synopsis

Describes the analysis and design regarding various classes of critical control systems including continuous time, discrete time and sampled-data systems. Numerous examples and detailed case studies demonstrate how the theory can be applied to practical control system design. Also features several useful numerical algorithms.

Synopsis

A frequent problem in engineering is the control of a critical system, where it is necessary to maintain the output within strictly defined bounds so that the system can operate effectively. This book is devoted exclusively to critical control systems, and it shows how Zakian's method of inequalities is ideal for their design. Several classes of critical control systems are covered, including analogue systems in both the time and frequency domains, discrete time systems, and sampled-data systems. The solution of the design problem is tackled using various analytical methods. The author demonstrates how numerical means can be applied to the method of inequalities. Examples and detailed case studies are included and illustrate how the theory can be applied to practical control system design.
