The anti-windup technique which can be used to tackle the problems of stability and
performance degradation for linear systems with saturated inputs is dealt with. The anti …

In this paper, several constructive linear and nonlinear anti-windup techniques are
presented and explained. Two approaches, namely direct linear anti-windup (DLAW) and …

This book provides a wide variety of state-space--based numerical algorithms for the
synthesis of feedback algorithms for linear systems with input saturation. Specifically, it …

The hard disk drive is one of the finest examples of the precision control of mechatronics,
with tolerances less than one micrometer achieved while operating at high speed …

This paper treats the problem of synthesizing antiwindup compensators that are able to
handle plant uncertainty in addition to controller saturation. The uncertainty considered is of …

Real-control applications of any nature can be affected by saturation limits that generate
windup. When saturation occurs in a device its performance deteriorates. Electromagnetic …

A general anti‐windup (AW) compensation scheme is provided for a class of input
constrained feedback‐linearizable nonlinear systems. The controller considered is an inner …

In this article, we present a magnetic-head positioning system in hard disk drives (HDDs)
with a quadruple-stage actuator system. The quadruple-stage actuator system consists of a …

Low-amplitude and wide-frequency bands characterize microvibrations and can severely
degrade the working accuracy of sensitive payloads. Notably, active microvibration isolation …

This paper presents a nonlinear tracking control method for a hard disk drive dual-stage
actuator (DSA) system that consists of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator and a piezoelectric …
