Design Case Studies

Design Case Studies

This chapter contains four detailed case studies of control system design and analysis using the Control System Toolbox.

• Yaw Damper for a 747 Jet Transport -- Illustrating the classical design process
• Hard-Disk Read/Write Head Controller -- Illustrating classical digital controller design
• LQG Regulation: Rolling Mill Example -- Using linear quadratic Gaussian techniques to regulate the beam thickness in a steel rolling mill
• Kalman Filtering-- Kalman filtering that illustrates both steady-state and time-varying Kalman filter design and simulation

Demonstration files for these case studies are available as jetdemo.m, diskdemo.m, milldemo.m, and kalmdemo.m. To run any of these demonstrations, type the corresponding name at the command line, for example,
