Fuzzy Control Synthesis and Analysis Edited by Shehu S. Farinwata Ford Motor Company, Research Laboratory, Dearborn, Michigan, USA Dimitar Filev Ford Motor Company, AMTDC, Redford, Michigan, USA Reza Langari Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas, USA Fuzzy techniques are used to cope with imprecision in the basic elements of a process under control. Written by an international team of researchers this edited volume covers the modeling, analysis and synthesis of fuzzy control systems. Features include: ? Comprehensive coverage of fuzzy dynamical systems, robustness, stability and sensitivity -- giving the reader a good grasp of the fundamentals of fuzzy control ? Focus on the analytical structures of new fuzzy modeling approaches based on the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) or Takagi-Sugeno (TS) model ? Applications of fuzzy control to aircraft systems, rocket engines and automotive engines ? Problems and examples illustrating how fuzzy approaches may be applied to the modeling, analysis and synthesis of closed-loop systems Design and control engineers will value the advanced control techniques and new design and analysis tools presented. Postgraduates studying fuzzy control will find this book a useful reference on synthesis, systems analysis and advanced nonlinear control methods.
