Computer-aided Nonlinear Control System Design

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on controller design for highly nonlinear systems, this book introduces a systematic, computer-aided approach using describing functions. It addresses a wide range of nonlinear systems without limitations on order, inputs, outputs, or nonlinear characteristics. The software-oriented methods outlined enable engineers to meet stringent performance standards while encouraging a nonlinear perspective, thus avoiding the pitfalls of linearization that can lead to unrealistic models and increased costs.
