Hard Disk Drive Servo Systems (Advances in Industrial Control)

Book Description

The second edition of this monograph provides a systematic treatment of the design of modern hard disk drive servo systems updated with the latest research results to reflect recent improvements in spindle speed and bit density and other changes in this fast-moving field. In particular, it focuses on the applications of some newly developed results in control theory, i.e., robust and perfect tracking control and composite non-linear feedback control which are suitable for track following and seeking respectively. Emphasis is placed on hard disk drive servo systems with single- or dual-stage actuation using a voice-coil-motor actuator enhanced in the latter case by the addition of a micro-actuator providing faster responses and therefore higher bandwidth in track following. Other issues such as modeling and compensation of nonlinearities and friction in microdrives, disturbance rejection and resonance compensation are also addressed.

The techniques and applications involved include:

time- and frequency domain methods for system identification;
physical effect approaches for parameter identification;
linear systems tools;
linear control techniques (PID, H ₂, H-infinity, and other robust control methods);
classical nonlinear control techniques (time-optimal, proximate time-optimal, and mode switching control);
composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control;
complete single- and dual-stage hard disk drive servo systems;
time- and frequency domain properties of hard disk drive servo systems;
design of piezoelectric actuator systems;
modeling and compensation of nonlinearities and friction in microdrives.

Hard Disk Drive Servo Systems will be of great value to practicing engineers in the hard disk and CD-ROM drive industries and to researchers in areas related to servo systems. The Linear Systems and CNF MATLAB ^® toolkits used to develop many of the results in this book can be downloaded from Professor Chen’s website.

Book Description

H-infinity control originated from an effort to codify classical control methods, where one shapes frequency response functions for linear systems to meet certain objectives. H-infinity control underwent tremendous development in the 1980s and made considerable strides toward systematizing classical control. This book addresses the next major issue of how this extends to nonlinear systems. At the core of nonlinear control theory lie two partial differential equations (PDEs). One is a first-order evolution equation called the information state equation, which constitutes the dynamics of the controller. One can view this equation as a nonlinear dynamical system. Much of this volume is concerned with basic properties of this system, such as the nature of trajectories, stability, and, most important, how it leads to a general solution of the nonlinear H-infinity control problem.

Book Description

The area of communication and computer networks has become a very active field of research by the control systems community in the last years. Tools from convex optimization and control theory are playing increasing roles in efficient network utilization, fair resource allocation, and communication delay accommodation and the field of Networked Control systems is fast becoming a mainstay of control systems research and applications. This carefully edited book brings together solicited contributions from experts in the various areas of communication/control networks referring to both networks under control (control in networks) as well as networked control systems (control over networks). The aim of this book is to reverse the trend of fragmentation and specialization in Communication Control Networks connecting various interdisciplinary research fields including control, communication, applied mathematics and computer science.

Book Description

This new edited book focuses on the contemporary developments and results in mathematical systems theory and control. It is a book in honor of Diederich Hinrichsen, for his fundamental contributions and achievements in the fields of linear systems theory and control theory and for his long term achievements in establishing mathematical systems theory in Germany. The book includes invited, peer-reviewed, authoritative expositions and surveys of these fields, presented by leading international researchers. A key theme of the book is the stability and robustness of linear and nonlinear systems using the concepts of stability radii and spectral value sets. Chapters survey recent advances in linear and nonlinear systems theory, including parameterization problems and behaviors of linear systems, convolutional codes, and complementary systems and hybrid systems. In addition, the volume examines controllability and stabilization of infinite dimensional systems (allowing for hysteresis nonlinearities) with functional analytic and algebraic approaches. Features and topics include: * linear and nonlinear systems theory * control theory and applications * robust stability of multivariate polynomials * stability radii of slowly time-varying systems * invariance radius for nonlinear systems * parametrization of conditioned invariant subspaces The book is an essential resource for all researchers and professionals in applied mathematics and control engineering who are
