Nonlinear Control Systems (Control Engineering, 13)

This text emphasizes classical methods and presents essential analytical tools and strategies for the construction and development of improved design methods in nonlinear control. It offers engineering procedures for the frequency domain, as well as solved examples for clear understanding of control applications in the industrial, electrical, process, manufacturing, and automotive industries. The authors discuss Properties of nonlinear systems, stability, linearization methods, operating modes and dynamic analysis methods, phase trajectories in dynamic analysis of nonlinear systems, and harmonic linearization in dynamic analysis of nonlinear control systems operating in stabilization mode.
