Quantitative Process Control Theory

by Weidong Zhang

Overview

This work explains how to solve industrial system problems using a novel control system design theory. This easy-to-use theory does not require designers to choose a weighting function and enables the controllers to be designed or tuned for quantitative engineering performance indices such as overshoot. Equally emphasizing theoretical and application aspects of the subject, the book bridges classical control theory and the newly arriving generation of robust control theory. It includes numerous exercises and examples drawn from aeronautical, mechanical, and chemical engineering.
