Engineering Applications of MATLAB® 5.3 and SIMULINK® 3 : Translated From the French by Mohand Mokhtari, Michel Marie, Cécile Davy and Martine Neveu

This book, a translation of an original French text, is written in two parts: the first revises the ideas and theoretical bases necessary for a good understanding of the techniques used in the second, which deals with applications of MATLAB(R) and SIMULINK(R) in process control and digital signal processing. Each application is treated through various techniques including the classical methods of automation and of deterministic and random digital processing using fuzzy logic and neural networks. The preceding mathematical study of the physical processes goes from finding the equations to editing the analogical model. Beyond the utilisation of M files, the use of SIMULINK(R) and S-functions, to which an appendix is dedicated, is emphasized. The encapsulation of diagram-blocks, enabling the creation of personalised libraries, one of SIMULINK(R)'s functionalities, has been treated in the appendix. The following SIMULINK(R) toolbox functions and blocks have been used: "Control System TOOLBOX", "Signal Processing TOOLBOX", "Neural Network TOOLBOX" and "Fuzzy Logic TOOLBOX". This book is intended for technicians, engineers, academic and industrial researchers who will find here the necessary mathematical tools offered by MATLAB(R), the TOOLBOXES and SIMULINK(R), for the rapid and efficient solution of problems in modeling and in digital or analogical calculation.

A translation of an original French text. Reviews the ideas and theoretical bases necessary for understanding the techniques used in dealing with applications of MATLAB and SIMULINK in process control and digital signal processing.

In recent years MATLAB®, together with SIMULINK® and the many associated toolboxes, has became a standard in the fields of engineering, simulation and numerical calculation. A veritable programming environment in themselves, MATLAB® and SIMULINK® bring unequalled possibilities of resolution and simulation in the fields of numerical calculation and the study of dynamic systems to students and professionals alike. These features are enhanced by excellent graphic visualisation in 2D and 3D. The originality of this book is to intelligently marry theory and practice. The theory is exposed in the first half of the work, the second part of the work being devoted to the study of real applications of control process and signal processing. This approach allows the reader, at any stage, to see the importance of the theory worked out in practical examples and follow the examples with their theoretical structure presented in a clear and concise way. The presentation of these applications begins with an initial mathematical study of the physical processes leading to the discrete modelling stage. In each of these case studies, the authors demonstrate the power of MA TLAB® and SIMULINK® tools as well as the power of the toolboxes dedicated to the control of processes, fuzzy logic, neuronal networks and signal processing. This enlightening approach gives the reader (novice or specialist) a clear and thorough understanding of these tools.
