"Dynamics and Control of Mechanical Systems in Offshore
Engineering" is a comprehensive treatment of marine mechanical
systems (MMS) involved in processes of great importance such as oil
drilling and mineral recovery. Ranging from nonlinear dynamic
modeling and stability analysis of flexible riser systems, through
advanced control design for an installation system with a single
rigid payload attached by thrusters, to robust adaptive control for
mooring systems, it is an authoritative reference on the dynamics
and control of MMS. Readers will gain not only a complete picture
of MMS at the system level, but also a better understanding of the
technical considerations involved and solutions to problems that
commonly arise from dealing with them.
The text provides:
. a complete framework of dynamical analysis and control design
for marine mechanical systems;
. new results on the dynamical analysis of riser, mooring and
installation systems together with a general modeling method for a
class of MMS;
. a general method and strategy for realizing the control
objectives of marine systems with guaranteed stability the
effectiveness of which is illustrated by extensive numerical
simulation; and
. approximation-based control schemes using neural networks for
installation of subsea structures with attached thrusters in the
presence of time-varying environmental disturbances and parametric
uncertainties.
Most of the results presented are analytical with repeatable
design algorithms with proven closed-loop stability and performance
analysis of the proposed controllers is rigorous and detailed.
"Dynamics and Control of Mechanical Systems in Offshore
Engineering" is primarily intended for researchers and engineers in
the system and control community, but graduate students studying
control and marine engineering will also find it a useful resource
as will practitioners working on the design, running or maintenance
of offshore platforms."
