Fractional-order Systems and Controls: Fundamentals and Applications [Paperback]

Fractional-order Systems and Controls details the use of fractional calculus in the description and modeling of systems, and in a range of control design and practical applications. It is largely self-contained, covering the fundamentals of fractional calculus together with some analytical and numerical techniques and providing MATLAB? codes for the simulation of fractional-order control (FOC) systems.Many different FOC schemes are presented for control and dynamic systems problems. Practical material relating to a wide variety of applications is also provided. All the control schemes and applications are presented in the monograph with either system simulation results or real experimental results, or both.Fractional-order Systems and Controls provides readers with a basic understanding of FOC concepts and methods, so they can extend their use of FOC in other industrial system applications, thereby expanding their range of disciplines by exploiting this versatile new set of control techniques.Fractional-order Systems and Controls provides a basic understanding of FOC concepts and methods. Readers will learn the broad range of uses of FOC in control systems through a variety of real-world problems in fields like mechatronics, civil engineering and biological systems.

Fractional-order Systems and Controls details the use of fractional calculus (calculus of non-integer order) in the description and modeling of systems, and in a range of control design and practical applications. It is largely self-contained, covering the fundamentals of fractional calculus together with some analytical and numerical techniques and providing MATLAB^? codes for the simulation of fractional-order control (FOC) systems (available by download from www.springer.com/ISBN).

The use of fractional calculus can improve and generalize well-established control methods and strategies. Many different FOC schemes lÓ+
