Although gain-scheduling is partially simplifying the nonlinear control design problems in
aerospace industry, it cannot completely address the uncertainties throughout the entire …

Control system design has reached a level of considerable maturity and there exists
substantial understanding of “standard” linear control problems. The aim of this paper is to …

The dynamic characteristics of a controller designed by the gain-scheduling approach can
be strongly dependent on the realisation adopted; that is, on the manner in which the local …

Circulation Control (CC) is an effective technique to increase lift and improve aerodynamic
efficiency of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This paper introduces a novel, robust …

The phenomena of aeroelasticity, introduced by the interaction between the structural,
inertial, and aerodynamic forces [1], can dramatically degrade the performance of an aircraft …

In this paper a modern gain-scheduling methodology is proposed which exploits recently
developed velocity-based techniques to resolve many of the deficiencies of classical gain …

Abstract Traditional centralized Proportional Integral (PI) controller design methods based
on Equivalent Transfer Functions (ETF) have poor decoupling effect in turboprop engines. In …

GAIN scheduling is defined as the process of subdividing a nonlinear control problem into a
series of linear subproblems, designing controllers to suit each linear design condition, and …

The thesis deals with fuzzy computing in control systems and particularly in multivariable
control and gain scheduling. It addresses research problems as to how to apply methods of …

This book presents a general nonlinear control design methodology for nonlinear uncertain
dynamical systems. Specifically, a hierarchical nonlinear switching control framework is …
