As the state of structural control technology advances towards smaller, more power efficient and less expensive control devices, future structural control systems are likely to be deployed with large numbers of control devices and sensors. The result is a large-scale control problem characterized by having high sensor and actuator density. Such systems are better suited for decentralized contro...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...
