chapter 1 Introduction -- chapter 3 QFT Robust Control -- chapter 3 Unstable Systems and Control Solutions -- chapter 4 Time-Delay and Non-Minimum Phase Systems -- chapter 5 Distributed Parameter Systems -- chapter 6 Gain Scheduling/Switching Control Solutions -- chapter 7 Nonlinear Dynamic Control -- chapter 8 Multi-Input Multi-Output Systems: Analysis and Control -- chapter 9 Control Topologies -- chapter 10 Controller Implementation -- chapter Case Study 1: Satellite Control -- chapter Case Study 2: Wind Turbine Control -- chapter Case Study 3: Wastewater Treatment Plant Control -- chapter Case Study 4: Radio-Telescope Control -- chapter Case Study 5: Attitude and Position Control of Spacecraft Telescopes with Flexible Appendages.

This book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of the QFT robust control, as well as practical control solutions, for unstable, time-delay, non-minimum phase or distributed parameter systems, plants with large model uncertainty, high-performance specifications, nonlinear components, multi-input multi-output characteristics or asymmetric topologies. The reader will discover practical applications through a collection of fifty successful, real world case studies and projects, in which the author has been involved during the last twenty-five years, including commercial wind turbines, wastewater treatment plants, power systems, satellites with flexible appendages, spacecraft, large radio telescopes, and industrial manufacturing systems. Furthermore, the book presents problems and projects with the popular QFT Control Toolbox (QFTCT) for MATLAB, which was developed by the author.
