Download or read book Esercizi di controlli automatici con note teoriche written by Gianluigi Pillonetto and published by Società Editrice Esculapio. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo libro è rivolto principalmente agli studenti di Ingegneria Gestionale. Contiene esercizi riguardanti il corso universitario di Controlli Automatici dove si discutono ed analizzano i cosiddetti modelli di stato e modelli ingresso-uscita, strumento indispensabile per descrivere i sistemi dinamici, fornendo i primi concetti di base sul loro controllo. Il concetto di sistema dinamico è molto generale, e le corrispondenti proprietà sono quindi comuni a molti fenomeni, di natura fisica, biologica, economica, ecc. Questo rende estremamente ampio il campo di applicazione della corrispondente teoria. Nella prima parte del libro vengono proposti esercizi dove viene richiesto allo studente di costruire un modello di stato dalla descrizione di alcune regole di funzionamento di un sistema fisico. Questi esercizi di modellistica sono poi complementati da quesiti riguardanti ad esempio il calcolo della risposta impulsiva del sistema e dei punti di equilibrio. Qui, come nelle sezioni successive, sono presenti anche alcune note teoriche per agevolare lo studente, ad esempio richiami sulla forma di Bode, sul principio del modello interno e sulla funzione di sensitività. Nella seconda parte vengono proposti agli studenti esercizi riguardanti sistemi lineari in retroazione. Essi riguardano ad esempio lo studio dell’evoluzione forzata del sistema con richiami sulla decomposizione di Heavyside. Infine, nella terza parte del libro viene trattata la sintesi del controllore per un sistema in retroazione effettuata in frequenza. Vengono fornite linee guida per la progettazione basandosi sulle cosiddette reti standard: amplificazione pura, anticipatrice, ritardatrice e a sella.

Download or read book Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications written by Mattia Rossi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microcontroller programming is not a trivial task. Indeed, it is necessary to set correctly the required peripherals by using programming languages like C/C++ or directly machine code. Nevertheless, MathWorks® developed a model-based workflow linked with an automatic code generation tool able to translate Simulink® schemes into executable files. This represents a rapid prototyping procedure, and it can be applied to many microcontroller boards available on the market. Among them, this introductory book focuses on the C2000 LaunchPadTM family from Texas InstrumentsTM to provide the reader basic programming strategies, implementation guidelines and hardware considerations for some power electronics-based control applications. Starting from simple examples such as turning on/off on-board LEDs, Analog-to-Digital conversion, waveform generation, or how a Pulse-Width-Modulation peripheral should be managed, the reader is guided through the settings of the specific MCU-related Simulink® blocks enabled for code translation. Then, the book proposes several control problems in terms of power management of RL and RLC loads (e.g., involving DC-DC converters) and closed-loop control of DC motors. The control schemes are investigated as well as the working principles of power converter topologies needed to drive the systems under investigation. Finally, a couple of exercises are proposed to check the reader’s understanding while presenting a processor-in-the loop (PIL) technique to either emulate the dynamics of complex systems or testing computational performance. Thus, this book is oriented to graduate students of electrical and automation and control engineering pursuing a curriculum in power electronics and drives, as well as to engineers and researchers who want to deepen their knowledge and acquire new competences in the design and implementations of control schemes aimed to the aforementioned application fields. Indeed, it is assumed that the reader is well acquainted with fundamentals of electrical machines and power electronics, as well as with continuous-time modeling strategies and linear control techniques. In addition, familiarity with sampled-data, discrete-time system analysis and embedded design topics is a plus. However, even if these competences are helpful, they are not essential, since this book provides some basic knowledge even to whom is approaching these topics for the first time. Key concepts are developed from scratch, including a brief review of control theory and modeling strategies for power electronic-based systems.
Download or read book Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems written by Roberto Tempo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-21 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of uncertainty in a system description has always been a critical issue in control. The main objective of Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems, with Applications (Second Edition) is to introduce the reader to the fundamentals of probabilistic methods in the analysis and design of systems subject to deterministic and stochastic uncertainty. The approach propounded by this text guarantees a reduction in the computational complexity of classical control algorithms and in the conservativeness of standard robust control techniques. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent research and new applications with chapters on statistical learning theory, sequential methods for control and the scenario approach being completely rewritten. Features: · self-contained treatment explaining Monte Carlo and Las Vegas randomized algorithms from their genesis in the principles of probability theory to their use for system analysis; · development of a novel paradigm for (convex and nonconvex) controller synthesis in the presence of uncertainty and in the context of randomized algorithms; · comprehensive treatment of multivariate sample generation techniques, including consideration of the difficulties involved in obtaining identically and independently distributed samples; · applications of randomized algorithms in various endeavours, such as PageRank computation for the Google Web search engine, unmanned aerial vehicle design (both new in the second edition), congestion control of high-speed communications networks and stability of quantized sampled-data systems. Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems (second edition) is certain to interest academic researchers and graduate control students working in probabilistic, robust or optimal control methods and control engineers dealing with system uncertainties. The present book is a very timely contribution to the literature. I have no hesitation in asserting that it will remain a widely cited reference work for many years. M. Vidyasagar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.
Download or read book Disabling Obesity written by Paolo Capodaglio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability. Comorbidities can tip the balance of independence in patients who already have functional limitations mainly due to the excess of mass itself or who develop conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, where an abnormal metabolism of adipose tissue prevails. Morbid obesity with comorbidities leading to disability represents a real social and economic burden for National Health Systems worldwide. The presence of multiple and associated comorbidities often represents an obstacle to being admitted to hospitals for the treatment of metabolic diseases. On the other hand, clinical units with optimal standards for the treatment of pathological conditions in normal-weight patients are often structurally and technologically inadequate for the care of patients with extreme obesity. The aim of this book is to focus on the pathophysiological and rehabilitative aspects of disabling obesity, highlighting multidisciplinary rehabilitation interventions as key to counteracting the disabling aspects of complicated obesity.

Download or read book Elementi di Controlli Automatici Vol III written by Giovanni Celentano and published by EdiSES SRL. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La modellistica, la simulazione, l'analisi, il controllo e le tecnologie di controllo dei sistemi dinamici rivestono, nell'attuale (e molto realisticamente nel futuro) quadro culturale, scientifico, didattico, professionale, un nuovo significato ruolo che consente sia lo studio che il controllo di realtà naturali e/o artificiali molto variegate, sia la risoluzione di numerosi problemi teorico/pratici di rilevante interesse scientifico e/o ingegneristico. Modellistica, Simulazione, Analisi, Controllo e Tecnologie dei Sistemi Dinamici è un'opera teorica, pratica, ingegneristica, è trasversale sia per livello culturale che per gli ambiti ai quali si rivolge (automatico, elettrico, elettronico, telecomunicazione, informatico, biomedico, gestionale, meccanico, aeronautico, navale, civile, chimico, economico,...), è una collana rivolta a chiunque (studente, docente, studioso, professionista) voglia trovare in quanto proposto una risposta ai suoi problemi, uno stimolo culturale o nuove idee su cui lavorare. Essa consta di quattro volumi: Modellistica e Simulazione, Fondamenti di Dinamica dei Sistemi, Elementi di Controlli Automatici e Fondamenti di Tecnologie, di cui manca solo l'ultimo testo che verrà pubblicato a breve. Questi libri sono unici nel loro genere per l'approccio didattico innovativo, per la facilità di consultazione e la varietà dei percorsi di lettura, per la completezza, l'originalità di molti contenuti, i numerosi esempi presentati in modo particolarmente incisivo grazie a schemi grafici, casi di studio realistici e supportati da programmi interattivi in Matlav/Simulink, per la presenza di un sito web come fondamentale parte integrante in quanto raccoglie e raccoglierà sempre nuovi contenuti teorici ed informatici, ulteriori esempi pratici ed una ricca libreria di esercizi e progetti svolti. Sicuramente utile è la scelta di renderli disponibili sia in formato cartaceo che ebook. Con Elementi di Controlli Automatici - Vol. III gli autori hanno redatto un testo molto sintetico, ma completo per quanto riguarda la teoria classica del controllo, che riporta anche alcuni fondamentali risultati della teoria moderna ed altri innovativi non ancora pubblicati. Alcuni elementi innovativi di tale testo riguardano: l’introduzione di nuovi parametri globali, quali la banda di inseguimento e la costante di guadagno generalizzata; l’introduzione del sistema maggiorante; nuovi legami globali analitici e grafici; la progettazione di controllori in grado di costringere un sistema a seguire, con prefissato errore massimo ed a partire da un prefissato instante di tempo, un qualsiasi riferimento con derivata (variazione se discreto) limitata, anche in presenza di un disturbo generico anch’esso con derivata (variazione) limitata; la progettazione rapida di controllori robusti PID e non solo, basata su rigorosi e innovativi teoremi, di sistemi lineari con ritardi interni ed esterni, sia a partire da un loro modello matematico che a partire da semplici prove sperimentali. Tali tecniche di progettazione sono alla portata di qualsiasi ingegnere e tecnico delle aree dell’informazione e industriale e, molto probabilmente, sono destinate a soppiantare quelle storiche basate su regole empiriche. I concetti più importati sono illustrati con numerosi esempi realistici, alcuni sviluppati con nuovi programmi Matlab di utilità generale per gli studenti, gli ingegneri e i ricercatori. Tenendo presente i numerosi esempi completamente sviluppati, le numerosissime figure illustrative, l’evidenziatura dei concetti fondamentali, si intuisce come il testo sia di rapida consultazione e di grande aiuto per apprendere in tempi brevi alcuni importanti concetti di base della teoria del controllo sia classica che moderna.

Download or read book Plant Genetic Conservation written by Nigel Maxted and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-01-31 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.
