Applied Control Systems Design by Magdi S Mahmoud

Applied Control System Design examines several methods for building up systems models based on real experimental data from typical industrial processes and incorporating system identification techniques. The text takes a comparative approach to the models derived in this way judging their suitability for use in different systems and under different operational circumstances. A broad spectrum of control methods including various forms of filtering, feedback and feedforward control is applied to the models and the guidelines derived from the closed-loop responses are then composed into a concrete self-tested recipe to serve as a check-list for industrial engineers or control designers. System identification and control design are given equal weight in model derivation and testing to reflect their equality of importance in the proper design and optimization of high-performance control systems.
Readers’ assimilation of the material discussed is assisted by the provision of problems and examples. Most of these exercises use MATLAB® to make computation and visualization more straightforward.
Applied Control System Design will be of interest to academic researchers for its comparison of different systems models and their response to different control methods and will assist graduate students in learning the practical necessities of advanced control system design. The consistent reference to real systems coupled with self-learning tools will assist control practitioners who wish to keep up to date with the latest control design ideas.

From the reviews:

“This book provides a thorough ‘guided tour’ of the various control design techniques applied to a variety of real world systems… the book comes with not only numerous illustrative examples throughout the book, but also questions and MATLAB problems for some chapters which attracts graduate students and researchers not only for self-reading but also for use as a text book for advanced graduate students in disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering.” (D.

Magdi Sadek Mahmoud obtained BSc (Honors) in communication engineering, MSc in electronic engineering, and PhD in systems engineering, all from Cairo University in 1968, 1972, and 1974, respectively. He has been a professor of engineering since 1984. He is now a Distinguished University Professor at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia. He was on the faculty at different universities worldwide including Egypt (CU, AUC), Kuwait (KU), UAE (UAEU), UK (UMIST), USA (Pitt, Case Western), Singapore (Nanyang Technological) and Australia (Adelaide). He lectured in Venezuela (Caracas), Germany (Hanover), UK (Kent), USA (University of Texas at SA), Canada (Montreal, Alberta) and China (BIT, Yanshan). He is the principal author of thirty-four (34) books, inclusive book-chapters and the author/co-author of more than 510 peer-reviewed papers. He is the recipient of two national, one regional, and four university prizes for outstanding research in engineering and applied mathematics. He is a fellow of the IEE, a senior member of the IEEE, the CEI (UK), and a registered consultant engineer of information engineering and systems (Egypt). He is currently actively engaged in teaching and research in the development of modern methodologies of distributed control and filtering, networked-control systems, triggering mechanisms in dynamical systems, faulttolerant systems and information technology. He is a fellow of the IEE, a senior member of the IEEE, the CEI (UK), and a registered consultant engineer of information engineering and systems Egypt.

Yuanqing Xia was born in Anhui Province, China, in 1971 and graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Chuzhou University, Chuzhou, China, in 1991. He received his MS degree in Fundamental Mathematics from Anhui University, China, in 1998 and his PhD degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing, China, in 2001. From 1991-1995, he was with Tongcheng Middle-School as a teacher, Anhui, China. During January 2002 to November 2003, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute of Systems Science, Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, where he worked on navigation, guidance and control. From November 2003 to February 2004, he joined the National University of Singapore as a research fellow, where he worked on variable structure control. From February 2004 to February 2006, he was with the University of Glamorgan, Pontypridd, U.K., as a research fellow, where he worked on networked control systems. From February 2007 to June 2008, he was a guest professor with Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria, where he worked on biomedical signal processing. Since July 2004, he has been with the Department of Automatic Control, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, first as an associate professor, and then, since 2008, as a professor. His current research interests are in the fields of networked control systems, robust control, sliding mode control, active disturbance rejection control and biomedical signal processing.
