Robust Control Design with MATLAB®

Robust Control Design with MATLAB^® 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^® Robust Control and Control Systems Toolboxes and Simulink^®.

Features:

- Hands-on tutorial presentation giving you the opportunity to repeat the designs presented and easily modify them for your own programs.

This textbook is for graduate students and practising engineers to learn how to deal with robust control design taking advantage of MATLAB^® 7.0.1's power and flexibility.

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The main value of the book is its illustrative character showing how methodologies in robust control are implemented and what is the activity of control designers. So the book is for practitioners." (A. Akutowicz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1086, 2006)
