About this Item

Hardcover. An in-depth examination of intelligent approaches to increasing the accuracy of a variety of system components. Utilizing a unified, adaptive, inverse approach, the book offers electrical, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical and computer engineers methods for controlling many of the "hard" nonlinearities of frequently-employed control systems such as dead-zone, backlash and hysteresis. Discusses such nonlinearities at both the input and output points of a linear part and within both continuous time designs and discrete time designs. This text presents an approach developed by the author, to handle some of the most common types of component imperfections encountered in industrial automation, consumer electronics, and defence and transportation systems. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
