  • The Benefits of Behavioral Research to the Fire Service

    Human Behavior in Fires and Emergencies

    by Peter W. Blaich ...
    Previously, Fire Safety Engineers worked under a simple assumption that when a fire alarm activated, people will evacuation immediately. It was believed that how quickly people managed to evacuate a building depended mainly on physical abilities as well as the location of the nearest exit and the behavior of the fire. But work by Behavioral Scientists has found that this idea falls considerably ... Read more

  • Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

    Theory and Algorithms

    by Lars Grüne, Jürgen Pannek ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Nonlinear Model Predictive Control is a thorough and rigorous introduction to nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for discrete-time and sampled-data systems. NMPC is interpreted as an approximation of infinite-horizon optimal control so that important properties like closed-loop stability, inverse optimality and suboptimality can be derived in a uniform manner. These results are complemented ... Read more

  • Networked and Distributed Predictive Control

    Methods and Nonlinear Process Network Applications

    by Panagiotis D. Christofides, David Muñoz de la Peña, Jinfeng Liu ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Networked and Distributed Predictive Control presents rigorous, yet practical, methods for the design of networked and distributed predictive control systems – the first book to do so. The design of model predictive control systems using Lyapunov-based techniques accounting for the influence of asynchronous and delayed measurements is followed by a treatment of networked control architecture ...

  • Feedback Control

    Linear, Nonlinear and Robust Techniques and Design with Industrial Applications

    by Stephen J. Dodds ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book develops the understanding and skills needed to be able to tackle original control problems. The general approach to a given control problem is to try the simplest tentative solution first and, when this is insufficient, to explain why and use a more sophisticated alternative to remedy the deficiency and achieve satisfactory performance. This pattern of working gives readers a full ... Read more

  • Finite-Time Stability and Control

    by Francesco Amato, Roberto Ambrosino, Marco Ariola, Carlo Cosentino, Gianmaria De Tommasi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Finite-time stability (FTS) is a more practical concept than classical Lyapunov stability, useful for checking whether the state trajectories of a system remain within pre-specified bounds over a finite time interval. In a linear systems framework, FTS problems can be cast as convex optimization problems and solved by the use of effective off-the-shelf computational tools such as LMI solvers. ... Read more
