Robust Control Design with MATLAB (r) helps you learn how to use well-developed robust control design methods in practical cases. Realistic control design examples from teaching-laboratory experiments, such as a mass-damper-spring assembly, to complex systems like a flexible-link manipulator are detailed. Design exercises are conducted with MATLAB (r) Robust Control and Control Systems Toolboxes and Simulink (r) . Features: a? Hands-on, tutorial presentation giving you the opportunity to repeat the designs presented and easily to modify them for your own programs. On the CD-ROM: a? M-files help you to understand the essence of robust control system design portrayed in the text-based examples. A? MDL- files for simulation of open- and closed-loop control in Simulink (r) . a? Full-color interpretations of all suitable figures for extra clarity.This textbook is for graduate students and practising engineers to learn how to deal with robust control design taking advantage of MATLAB (r) 7.0.1's power and flexibility.
