Hydraulic Servo-systemsdetails the basic concepts of many recent developments of nonlinear identification and nonlinear control and their application to hydraulic servo-systems: developments such as feedback linearisation and fuzzy control. The principles, benefits and limitations associated with standard control design approaches such as linear state feedback control, feedforward control and compensation for static nonlinearities are also reviewed, because of their continued practical importance. Featuring:• theoretical (physically based) modelling of hydraulic servo-systems;• experimental modelling (system identification);• control strategies for hydraulic servo-systems;• case studies and experimental results. Appendices outline the most important fundamentals of (nonlinear) differential geometry and fuzzy control. The book is very application-oriented and provides the reader with detailed working procedures and hints for implementation routines and software tools. Hydraulic Servo-systemswill interest scientists and qualified engineers involved in the analysis and design of hydraulic control systems, especially in advanced hydraulic industries, the aeronautical and space, and automotive industries. | Hydraulic Servo-systems by Mohieddine Jelali, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
