Control System Applications - Levine, William S.

. .

Résumé :
Control System Applications covers the uses of control systems, both in the common and in the uncommon areas of our lives. From the everyday to the unusual and from process control to human-in-the-loop control, this book illustrates the diversity of control systems and provides examples of how theory can be applied to specific practical problems. It offers insight on aspects of control not fully captured by the theory, such as techniques for protecting against controller failure and the role of cost and complexity in specifying controller designs. Each chapter contains an introduction, a section defining terms, references, and suggestions for further reading....
