      Stabilization of Uncertain Fractional-Order Neutral-Type Delay Systems presents an in-depth exploration of the challenges faced in stabilizing fractional-order systems with uncertainties, particularly those involving neutral-type delays. The book opens with a thorough introduction before advancing from constant fractional-order neutral-type systems (CFONT) to variable fractional-order counterparts (VFONT). Addressing real-world issues such as control input saturation and actuator delay, the book discusses both non-optimal and sub-optimal control approaches, including guaranteed cost controllers (GCC). It delves into output-feedback control as a viable alternative and compares static and dynamic feedback controllers, noting that dynamic controllers can enhance transient response but introduce additional complexity.These methods ensure closed-loop system stability and performance by providing clear stabilization conditions expressed as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be efficiently solved using tools like MATLAB’s LMI toolbox or freely available software such as SEDUMI and YALMIP. Beyond theory, the book examines state- and output-feedback controller structures, acknowledging the practical limitations of accessing all system states.

      Adaptive Backstepping Consensus Control for Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems: Command Filtered Backstepping offers a new design solution for students, researchers, and engineers working on distributed cooperative control problems for nonlinear multi-agent systems. The book is structured around six key topics, focusing on command filtered backstepping-based distributed adaptive consensus control. By combining command filtered backstepping techniques with adaptive control, fuzzy logic systems, neural networks, and other control approaches, the book investigates and proposes control schemes for the consensus control problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of consensus control based on adaptive command filtered backstepping technology.

      Stability and Controls Analysis for Delay Systems is devoted to stability, controllability and iterative learning control (ILC) to delay systems, including first order system, oscillating systems, impulsive systems, fractional systems, difference systems and stochastic systems raised from physics, biology, population dynamics, ecology and economics, currently not presented in other books on conventional fields. Delayed exponential matrix function approach is widely used to derive the representation and stability of the solutions and the controllability. ILC design are also established, which can be regarded as a way to find the control function. The broad variety of achieved results with rigorous proofs and many numerical examples make this book unique.

      Advanced Seat Suspension Control System Design for Heavy Duty Vehicles provides systematic knowledge of the advanced seat suspension design and control for heavy duty vehicles. Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to ride comfort and the health of drivers and passengers. This is especially for heavy duty vehicles, where drivers/operators are exposed to much severer vibrations than those in passenger vehicles due to a harsh working environment, operating conditions, and long hour driving, etc. Seat suspension systems can effectively help to suppress the high magnitude vibration transmitted to drivers with relatively simple structure and low cost, and hence are widely adopted in heavy duty vehicles. This book helps researchers and engineers to have a comprehensive understanding of the seat suspension system and to conduct in-depth studies on seat suspension design and control; this book covers a wide range of perspectives about seat suspension design and control methods.

      Control systems are one of the most important engineering fields, and recent advances in microelectonics and microelectromechanic... systems have made feedback controls ubiquitous – a simple cell phone, for example, can have dozens of feedback control systems. Recent research focuses on advanced controls, such as nonlinear systems, adaptive controls, or controls based on computer learning and artificial intelligence. Conversely, classical (linear) control theory is well established; yet, it provides the crucial foundation not only for advanced control topics, but also for the many everyday control systems ranging from cell phone backlight control to self-balancing hoverboard scooters. Linear Feedback Controls provides a comprehensive, yet compact introduction to classical control theory. The present Second Edition has been expanded to include important topics, such as state-space models and control robustness. Moreover, aspects of the practical realization have been significantly expanded with complete design examples and with typical building blocks for control systems. The book is ideal for upper level students in electrical and mechanical engineering, for whom a course in Feedback Controls is usually required. Moreover, students in bioengineering, chemical engineering, and agricultural and environmental engineering can benefit from the introductory character and the practical examples, and the book provides an introduction or helpful refresher for graduate students and professionals.

      In the last two decades, the development of specific methodologies for the control of systems described by nonlinear mathematical models has attracted an ever increasing interest. New breakthroughs have occurred which have aided the design of nonlinear control systems. However there are still limitations which must be understood, some of which were addressed at the IFAC Symposium in Capri. The emphasis was on the methodological developments, although a number of the papers were concerned with the presentation of applications of nonlinear design philosophies to actual control problems in chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering.

      The design of control systems is at the very core of engineering. Feedback controls are ubiquitous, ranging from simple room thermostats to airplane engine control. Helping to make sense of this wide-ranging field, this book provides a new approach by keeping a tight focus on the essentials with a limited, yet consistent set of examples. Analysis and design methods are explained in terms of theory and practice. The book covers classical, linear feedback controls, and linear approximations are used when needed. In parallel, the book covers time-discrete (digital) control systems and juxtaposes time-continuous and time-discrete treatment when needed. One chapter covers the industry-standard PID control, and one chapter provides several design examples with proposed solutions to commonly encountered design problems. The book is ideal for upper level students in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biological/biomedica... engineering, chemical engineering and agricultural and environmental engineering and provides a helpful refresher or introduction for graduate students and professionals
