Transient and Stability Studies or Multivariable Control Systems by the Method of Linear Transformations

Multivariable control systems are analyzed by the method of linear transformations. The data obtained are used for the synthesis of the control systems as based on root-loci techniques. The various specifications of the system are analyzed and a design procedure is outlined. Such an approach ensures that the system not only meets specifications but also maintains the required performance in the presence of interaction, plant parameter variations, and even the effects of piece-wise linearities in the plant.
