Systems with Hysteresis [PDF ebook] 
Analysis, Identification and Control Using the Bouc-Wen Model

Hysterisis is a system property that is fundamental to a range of
engineering applications as the components of systems with
hysterisis are able to react differently to different forces
applied to them. Control theory is used to model these complex
systems and cause them to behave in the desired manner; the
Bouc-Wen model is a well-known semi-physical model that is used
extensively to describe the hysterisis of systems in the areas of
smart structures and civil engineering.

The Bouc-Wen model for system hysterisis has increased in
popularity due to its capability of capturing in an analytical form
a range of shapes of hysteretic cycles that match the behaviour of
a wide class of hysteretic systems. ‘Systems with
Hysterisis: Analysis, Identification and Control using the Bouc-Wen
Model’ deals with the analysis, identification and
control of these systems, and offers a comprehensive and
self-contained framework for the study of the Bouc-Wen model.

* Includes the latest techniques for modelling smart structures
and materials

* Provides a rigorous mathematical treatment of the subject along
with practical comments, numerical solutions and a case study of
magentorheological (MR) dampers.

* Begins by analysing the compatibility of the Bouc-Wen model
with the laws of physics, and continues to cover the relationship
between the model parameters and hysterisis loop, identification of
the model parameters and control of systems that include a
hysteretic part described by the Bouc-Wen model.

* Includes case studies covering the identification and control
of smart material transducers for use in automotive, aerospace and
structural control

Systems with Hysterisis: Analysis, Identification and Control
using the Bouc-Wen Model offers an invaluable source of ideas,
concepts and insights for engineers, researchers, lecturers and
senior/ postgraduate students involved in the research, design and
development of smart structures and related areas within civil and
mechanical engineering. It will also be of interest to readers
involved in the wider disciplines of electrical & control
engineering, applied mathematics, applied physics and material
science.

Fayçal Ikhouane currently holds both a research and teaching
post with the Control, Dynamics and Applications group at the
Technical University of Catalunya, Spain. He has been in this job
since 2002, after having been a visiting scholar at the University
of California in Santa Barbara, and a lecturer and associate
researcher with the Ecole Nationale d’Industrie Minérale
and the Ecole Mohammadia d’Ingénieurs in Morocco. He
also worked in industry as a control engineer at the
Société des Ciments d’Agadir, Morocco. Dr Ikhouane
is now conducting research on modelling, identification and control
of mechanical systems and smart structures with nonlinearities such
as hysteresis and friction, and is helping to set up a new research
laboratory on these topics. He has co-authored around 10 journal
papers and 20 papers and presentations at major conferences.

José Rodellar is currently a Professor in the School of Civil
Engineering at the Technical University of Catalunya, Spain. He has
been at the university since 1976, and is now Director of the
Control, Dynamics and Applications group, which carries out
theoretical and applied research on modelling and control, with
applications in structural control and smart structures. Previous
to this, he has been visiting professor at the Department of Civil
Engineering, at the State University of New York, Buffalo (USA),
and visiting scholar at the Department of Mechanical Engineering,
University of California, Berkeley. He is a member of the Board of
Directors of the International Association for Structural Control
and Monitoring, has co-authored and edited five books, including
Adaptive Predictive Control: From the Concepts to Plant
Optimization (Prentice Hall, 1995), Smart Structures and
NATO Workshop (Kluwer, 1998), and co-authored around 160
journal and conference papers.
