The absolute and relative stability of continuous-time SISO repetitive control systems is examined here using a function of frequency termed the regeneration spectrum. The regeneration spectrum is easily computed and is related to important features of the characteristic root distribution of such systems, for large values of the time delay. The regeneration spectrum is combined with other frequency domain measures of control system performance such as the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions to obtain improved insight into the tradeoffs in repetitive control system design. The result is a more rational approach to repetitive control system design and is illustrated by an example.

Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter. It was developed to allow software developers to use one language, anywhere and everywhere, for any programming task. Ch supports C99, a latest C standard ratified in 1999, and contains salient features for two and three dimensional plotting and numerical computing for applications in engineering and science. Developed in Ch, Ch Control System Toolkit provides a control class with member functions for object-based interactive modeling, analysis, and design of control systems. The software package has been widely used in industry to solve practical engineering problems and in universities for instructional improvement. The design and implementation of Ch Control System Toolkit are described in this paper. An application example of control system design and analysis using Ch Control System Toolkit demonstrates its power and simplicity.

The paper describes a conceptual control system design based on advanced technologies currently in the exploratory development phase, and, in some cases, emerging into the advanced development phase. It explores future propulsion control systems that focus on improvements in three areas: (1) significantly reducing control system weight; (2) enhancing engine performance (thrust, sfc, etc.); and (3) improving control system reliability and tolerance to high-threat environments (temperature, vibration, EMI, EMP, etc.). The factors that will influence the design and hardware configuration of future propulsion control systems are described. Design goals for future systems, based on the DOD/NASA IHPTET Initiative, and projections of emerging technology capability (and availability) form the basis for future propulsion control system design requirements and for estimating future hardware configurations.

Developed in Ch, Ch Control System Toolkit provides a control class with member functions for object-based interactive modeling, analysis, and design of linear time-invariant control systems. The software package, available for downloading on the web, has been widely used in industry to solve practical engineering problems and in universities for instructional improvement. The design and implementation of Ch Control System Toolkit are described in this paper. Two application examples of control system design and analysis using Ch Control System Toolkit demonstrate its power and simplicity.

ABSTRACT Using an online survey of 468 U.S. employees from diverse industries and professions, we provide empirical evidence that management control system design choices can affect autonomous motivation in employees. Drawing on self-determination theory and the levers of control framework, we predict and find that employee autonomous motivation is positively associated with the use of beliefs control systems and interactive control systems and negatively associated with the use of diagnostic control systems. Moreover, we find that the joint use of diagnostic and interactive controls is positively associated with autonomous motivation. We also find a positive association between employees' autonomous motivation and individual self-reported effort, job performance, and creativity. Additional analyses examine the sources of motivation behind these results, focusing on identified motivation. The theory and results of our study provide a potential explanation for the recent trend in practice of organizations increasingly emphasizing their values and higher purposes.

This chapter sketches the typical development of control systems and refers the reader to classical books for more details on control system design. Historically, control design started in the continuous world: a system had to be controlled, and its dynamics was captured by the equations of physics, for example, using ordinary differential equations. Then, control theory provides means to build a controller: another system, used in combination with the system to be controlled, is able to move the system to the requested state. The chapter thus begins by presenting a typical process leading to the development of a controller in the aerospace domain. It then gives an idea of each step.
