10 Design Case Studies
10-2
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: RollingMill Example” — Using linear quadratic Gaussian
techniques to regulate the beam thickness in a steel rolling mill
•“Kalman Filtering”—Kalman filteringthatillustratesbothsteady-stateand
time-varying Kalman filter design and simulation
