Recent developments in H^ theory have produced a promising
new design approach. However, a large gap between theory and
practice has emerged, with as yet very few design examples
applied to real industrial control problems. The research here aims
to narrow this gap, covering implementation issues associated
with multivariable H^ controllers.
Topics covered include:
• The Motivation for Robust Control
• A Multivariable Design Case Study
• Robust Design Using Loop-Shaping
• Controller Switching, Scheduling and Complexity
• Multivariable Anti-Windup
• Linear Design and Analysis
• Discretisation
• Flight Control Modes and Command Precompensation
• Limiters and Non-Linear Aspects
• Unpiloted and Piloted Time Simulation and Flight Testing
Advances in Industrial Control aims to import and encourage
technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development
of control technology impacts all areas of the control discipline.
The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an
extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial
control.
