Abstract: This book addresses
an important and challenging open control problem: control of sandwich
nonlinear systems that have nonlinearities sandwiched in between dynamic
blocks. Sandwiched dead-zone, backlash, friction, and hysteresis systems
are systematically analyzed and control designs are developed for such
sandwich nonlinear systems that have different levels of uncertainties.
Novel hybrid control designs, based on a general framework, are developed
to handle sandwiched nonlinearities such as dead-zone, hysteresis with
applications to precision servomechanisms and smart structures. Intelligent
tools such as adaptive, neural network have been combined with hybrid control
as control strategies for the sandwich systems. Control designs for compensation
of sandwiched friction and sandwiched backlash have been systematically
developed. Problem of actuator failure compensation for sandwich nonlinear
systems has been formulated along with a solution for a case study.
