Description: Robust Control Design with MATLAB® (second edition) helps the student to learn how to use well-developed advanced robust control design methods in practical cases. To this end, several realistic control design examples from teaching-laboratory experiments, such as a two-wheeled, self-balancing robot, to complex systems like a flexible-link manipulator are given detailed presentation. All of these exercises are conducted using MATLAB® Robust Control Toolbox 3, Control System Toolbox and Simulink®.By sharing their experiences in industrial cases with minimum recourse to complicated theories and formulae, the authors convey essential ideas and useful insights into robust industrial control systems design using major H-infinity optimization and related methods allowing readers quickly to move on with their own challenges.^

The hands-on tutorial style of this text rests on an abundance of examples and features for the second edition:·        rewritten and simplified presentation of theoretical and methodological material including original coverage of linear matrix inequalities;·        new Part II forming a tutorial on Robust Control Toolbox 3;·        fresh design problems including the control of a two-rotor dynamic system; and·        end-of-chapter exercises in Part II.Electronic supplements to the written text that can be downloaded from extras.springer.com/978-1-4471-4681-0 include:·        M-files developed with MATLAB® help in understanding the essence of robust control system design portrayed in text-based examples; ·        MDL-files for simulation of open- and closed-loop systems in Simulink®; and·        sample solutions  to Part II end-of-chapter exercises available free of charge to those adopting Robust Control Design with^

MATLAB® as a textbook for courses.Robust Control Design with MATLAB® is for graduate students and practising engineers who want to learn how to deal with robust control design problems without spending a lot of time in researching complex theoretical developments.'Any researcher interested in the subject of robust control theory will fine this book invaluable...It is not often that one comes across such a useful book...I consider this book ideal as a teaching aid for control practitioners in final year undergraduate or first year graduate courses.' - Dr. Sillas Hadjiloucas, University of Reading
