Some Unifying Concepts in Multivariable Feedback Design

Multivariable Feedback Design : Concepts for a ClassicaVModern Synthesis

Abstmei--lhis paper presents a practical design perspective on multivariable feedback control problem. It reviews the basic issue-feedback design in the face of uncertainties-and generalizes known single-input, singleoutput (SISO) statements and constraints of the design problem to multiinpat, multioutput ("0) cases. Two major "0 design a p proaches are then evaluated in the context of these re...

Some Basic Design Concepts Experimental Design

Sir Ronald Fisher, the statistician, eugenicist, evolutionary biologist, geneticist, and father of modern experimental design, observed that experiments are ‘only experience carefully planned in advance, and designed to form a secure basis of new knowledge’ (Fisher, 1935: 8). Experiments are characterized by the: (1) manipulation of one or more independent variables; (2) use of controls such as...

A Sequential Design Method for Multivariable Feedback Control Systems

In this paper, a sequential design method is proposed for analyses and designs of multivariable feedback control systems. The overall compensator is implemented systematiccally with a cascaded layer-wrapped structure and diagonal compensators. The method can take into consideration of stability, integrity, diagonal dominance and performance in a sequential manner. Roots of stability-equations a...
