Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the control of complex industrial, automotive and energy systems. By solving an optimisation problem over a finite horizon, MPC ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...

Applying model-predictive methods and a continuous process-control framework to a continuous tablet-manufacturing process. Currently, there is a high level of interest in the pharmaceutical industry ...
