The authors guide readers quickly and concisely through the complex topics of neural networks, fuzzy logic, mathematical modelling of electrical machines, power systems control and VHDL design. Unlike the academic monographs that have previously been published on each of these subjects, this book combines them and is based round case studies of systems analysis, control strategies, design, simulation and implementation. The result is a guide to applied control systems design that will appeal equally to students and professional design engineers. The book can also be used as a unique VHDL design aid, based on real-world power engineering applications.

*Introduces cutting-edge control systems to a wide readership of engineers and students
*The first book on neuro-fuzzy control systems to take a practical, applications-based approach, backed up with worked examples and case studies
*Learn to use VHDL in real-world applications

Introducing cutting edge control systems through real-world applications

Neural networks and fuzzy logic based systems offer a modern control solution to AC machines used in variable speed drives, enabling industry to save costs and increase efficiency by replacing expensive and high-maintenance DC motor systems. The use of fast micros has revolutionised the field with sensorless vector control and direct torque control. This book reflects recent research findings and acts as a useful guide to the new generation of control systems for a wide readership of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practising engineers.

The comfort of a car as perceived by the driver can be as important to its commercial success as its performance and fuel efficiency. Modern engines deliver increased torque and there is a current trend to reduce transmission-shaft stiffness, both phenomena militating against maintaining, let alone increasing, ride comfort.

Dry Clutch Control for Automated Manual Transmission Vehicles analyses the control of a part of the powertrain which has a key role in ride comfort during standing-start and gear-shifting manoeuvres. The mechanical conception of the various elements in the driveline has long since been optimised so this book takes a more holistic system-oriented view of the problem featuring:

• a comprehensive description of the driveline elements and their operation paying particular attention to the clutch;

• a nonlinear model of the driveline for simulation and a simplified model for control design, complete with a standing-start driver automaton for closed loop simulation;

• a detailed analysis of the engagement operation and the related comfort criteria;

• different control schemes aiming at meeting these criteria;

• friction coefficient and unknown input clutch torque observers;

• practical implementation issues and solutions based on the hands-on experience of implementing optimal engagement strategies on two Renault prototypes.

Dry Clutch Control for Automated Manual Transmission Vehicles will be essential reading for automotive engineers working on model design and contains much to interest the academic researcher with its combination of theoretical results and application in the important and widely studied field of automotive engineering and control.
