Backstepping Control Of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

Backstepping Control of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems addresses both the fundamentals of backstepping control as well as the advances in the field. The latest techniques that are explored include 'active backstepping control', 'adaptive backstepping control', 'fuzzy backstepping control' and 'adaptive fuzzy backstepping control' - this exploits a gap in the market as it plainly discusses the process, history, and definition of backstepping control. The reference book provides numerous simulations using MATLAB and circuit design. These illustrate the main results of theory and applications of backstepping control of nonlinear control systems. Backstepping control encompasses varied aspects of mechanical engineering and has many different applications within the field. For example, the book covers aspects related to robot manipulators, aircraft flight control systems, power systems, mechanical systems, biological systems and chaotic systems. This multi-faceted aspect of the subject area means that the subject matter will be a useful reference resource for a large cross section of the mechanical engineering community. Details the real-world applications of backstepping control Gives an up-to-date insight into the theory, uses, and application of backstepping control Bridges the gaps for different fields of engineering including mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering, communications engineering, robotics and biomedical instrumentation
