How is the Nonlinear Synthesis Tools™ package used for controller
synthesis?
The user provides a system model in the form:
The model can be specified in a MATLAB® file, a Simulink® model, or C code. The user invokes the desired nonlinear control design methodology and chooses the parameters to realize the controller. The function then returns the control vector u. The Nonlinear Synthesis Tools package provides a graphical user interface for automatically writing controller code in the form of a MATLAB® function.
The Nonlinear Synthesis Tools software is supplied with over 50 nonlinear control tutorial examples that demonstrate the use of the functions. These examples include:
- Single-input, single-state nonlinear system
- Multi-input, multi-state nonlinear system
- Third-order nonlinear dynamic system with scalar control
- Longitudinal autopilot of a missile
- Spacecraft attitude control with a realistic model
- DC-motor position servo system with friction
- DC-motor position servo system with backlash
- Nonholonomic Heisenberg system
- Lorenz attractor
- Van der Pol oscillator
- Zermelo's problem
The software is supplied on a CD with a 200-page user's manual.
