From the reviews:
“This book is a collection of contributions from several researchers involved in automatic detection and diagnosis of static friction (stiction) in control loops where the process is manipulated by valves. … The book aims to provide researchers and practicing engineers with a survey of the state-of-the-art in this area of control engineering.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, October, 2010)
Detection and Diagnosis of Stiction in Control Loops
State of the Art and Advanced Methods
herausgegeben von Mohieddine Jelali und Biao HuangIn the process industries, stiction is the most common performance-limiting valve problem and over the last decade numerous different techniques for overcoming it have been proposed.
This book represents a comprehensive presentation of these methods, including their principles, assumptions, strengths and drawbacks. Guidelines and working procedures are provided for the implementation of each method and MATLAB®-based software can be downloaded from www. ualberta. ca/~bhuang/stiction-book enabling readers to apply the methods to their own data. Methods for the limitation of stiction effects are proposed within the general context of: oscillation detection in control loops, stiction detection, diagnosis and stiction quantification and diagnosis of multiple faults.
The state-of-the-art algorithms presented in this book are demonstrated and compared in industrial case studies of diverse origin – chemicals, building, mining, pulp and paper, mineral and metal processing.
