Full Description
Multivariable Control Systems focuses on control design with continual references to the practical aspects of implementation. While the concepts of multivariable control are justified, the book emphasises the need to maintain student interest and motivation over exhaustive mathematical proof. Tools of analysis and representation are always developed as methods for achieving a final control system design and evaluation.
Features:
• design implementation laid out using extensive reference to MATLAB®;
• combined consideration of systems (plant) and signals (mainly disturbances);
• step-by-step approach from the objectives of multivariable control to the solution of complete design problems.
Multivariable Control Systems is an ideal text for graduate students or for final-year undergraduates looking for more depth than provided by introductory textbooks. It will also interest the control engineer practising in industry and seeking to implement robust or multivariable control solutions to plant problems.
