Modern control system theory

M. Gopal
TLDR
Practical control problems from various engineering disciplines have been drawn to illustrate the potential concepts and most of the theoretical results have been presented in a manner suitable for digital computer programming along with the necessary algorithms for numerical computations.
Abstract
From the Publisher: The book provides an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at postgraduate level, or one course at undergraduate and one course at postgraduate level. It covers mainly two areas of modern control theory, namely: system theory, and multivariable and optimal control. The coverage of the former is quite exhaustive while that of latter is adequate with significant provision of the necessary topics that enables a research student to comprehend various technical papers. The stress is on the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Practical control problems from various engineering disciplines have been drawn to illustrate the potential concepts. Most of the theoretical results have been presented in a manner suitable for digital computer programming along with the necessary algorithms for numerical computations.

Free vibration analysis of laminated plates using a layerwise theory

TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained from this theory are compared with those obtained from a full-fledged three-dimensional elasticity analysis and various equivalent single-layer theories that are available, such as the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), the first-order shear deformation laminated plates theory (FSDPT), and the third-order Shear Deformation Plate theory (THSDPT).

A single network adaptive critic (SNAC) architecture for optimal control synthesis for a class of nonlinear systems

TL;DR: An improvement to the AC architecture, called the "Single Network Adaptive Critic (SNAC)," is presented, which is applicable to a wide class of nonlinear systems where the optimal control (stationary) equation can be explicitly expressed in terms of the state and costate variables.

Coupling Movement Primitives: Interaction With the Environment and Bimanual Tasks

TL;DR: This paper proposes and evaluates a modulation approach that allows interaction with objects and the environment and applies an iterative learning control algorithm to learn a coupling term which is applied to the original trajectory in a feed-forward fashion and modifies the trajectory in accordance to the desired positions or external forces.

Impact-Angle-Constrained Suboptimal Model Predictive Static Programming Guidance of Air-to-Ground Missiles

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear suboptimal guidance law is presented for successful interception of ground targets by air-launched missiles and guided munitions, which accurately satisfies terminal impact angle constraints in both azimuth as well as elevation simultaneously.
