Control System

A systematic computer-aided approach provides a versatile setting for the control engineer to overcome the complications of controller design for highly nonlinear systems. Computer-aided Nonlinear Control System Design provides such an approach based on the use of describing functions. The text deals with a large class of nonlinear systems without restrictions on the system order, the number of inputs and/or outputs or the number, type or arrangement of nonlinear terms. The strongly software-oriented methods detailed facilitate fulfillment of tight performance requirements and help the designer to think in purely nonlinear terms, avoiding the expedient of linearization which can impose substantial and unrealistic model limitations and drive up the cost of the final product.

This book presents practical techniques of discrete-time control system design. In general, the design techniques lead to low-order dynamic compensators that ensure satisfactory closed-loop performance for a wide range of sampling rates. The theory is given in the form of theorems, lemmas, and propositions. The design of the control systems is presented as step-by-step procedures and algorithms. The proposed feedback control schemes are applied to well-known dynamic system models.

Using a practical approach that includes only necessary theoretical background, this book focuses on applied problems that motivate readers and help them understand the concepts of automatic control.

This book, with a focus on the establishment of urban public security risk prevention and control system, carries out a comprehensive review and a comparative study of its development. It provides a systematical analysis to the inevitable security issues in the process of urban development and conducts an in-depth discussion on the background of times featuring heightened security risks as well as the main sources of current urban public security risks. In addition to analyzing the inner structure and development motivations, this book further summarizes the inner mechanism for the effective operation of urban risk prevention and control system and elaborates on the reasons why grassroots governance plays a vital role throughout the whole process. Moreover, this book sheds some light on the future development of urban security risk prevention and control system.
