A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rocketsintroduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theoryapplied to the design and analysis of general flight controlsystems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presentsa comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and space flightcontrol systems including aircraft, rockets (missiles and launchvehicles), entry vehicles and spacecraft (both orbital and attitudecontrol). The broad coverage of topics emphasizes the synergiesamong the various flight control systems and attempts to show theirevolution from the same set of physical principles as well as theirdesign and analysis by similar mathematical tools. In addition,this book presents state–of–art control system design methods –including multivariable, optimal, robust, digital and nonlinearstrategies – as applied to modern flight control systems.

Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rocketsfeatures worked examples and problems at the end of each chapter aswell as a number of MATLAB/ Simulink examples housed on anaccompanying website at http://home.iitk.ac.in/∼ashtew that arerealistic and representative of the state–of–the–art in flightcontrol.

• Presents a unified approach to aircraft, rocket and spacecraftflight control systems
• Includes chapters on nonlinear, optimal controltechniques with numerical solution methods, robust and adaptiveguidance, navigation, and attitude control for atmospheric andspace flight vehicles
• Allows the reader to test their grasp of the conceptspresented via numerous pedagogical features including worked–outexamples and problems at the end of each chapter, as well as casestudies, short ′knowledge–check′ questions, and longerassignments including coding and examination questions
•  Appropriate for both intermediate and advanced levelcourses on automatic control of aircraft, spacecraft, and rocket,with emphasis on non–trivial, multi–variable applications.
