Electro-hydraulic systems with regards to the their specific features and applications among other industrial systems including mechanical, electrical and pneumatic systems, have been widely taken into consideration by the scientists and researchers. Due to the fact that the electro-hydraulic system is inherently a nonlinear system, has some problems such as signals saturation, nonlinear effici...

linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. the specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. the basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...

In real life we often come into contact with nonlinear systems. In this paper we will concentrate on two methods dealing with the problem of nonlinear system control. As the first method we will use the self-tuning regulator and as the second multiple-model control. Both of the methods mentioned above will be verified by computer simulation. As a controlled system a simple cylindrical tank with...

This section is written to introduce the reader to nonlinearity and its effect in control systems, and also to ‘set the stage’ for the subsequent articles. Nonlinearity is first defined and then some of the physical effects which cause nonlinear behavior are discussed. This is followed by some comments on the stability of nonlinear systems, the existence of limit cycles, and the unique behavior...

Definition Nonlinear control systems are those control systems where nonlinearity plays a significant role, either in the controlled process (plant) or in the controller itself. Nonlinear plants arise naturally in numerous engineering and natural systems, including mechanical and biological systems, aerospace and automotive control, industrial process control, and many others. Nonlinear control...
