Stabilization of Neutral Systems with Saturating Actuators
A method is proposed for stabilization, using static state feedback, of systems subject to time-varying delays in both the states and their derivatives (i.e., neutral systems), in the presence of saturating actuators. Delay-dependent conditions are given to determine stabilizing state-feedback controllers with large domain of attraction, expressed as ...

Consensus Based Platoon Algorithm for Velocity-Measurement-Absent Vehicles with Actuator Saturation
We investigate the vehicle platoon problems, where the actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement are taken into consideration. Firstly, a novel algorithm, where a smooth function is introduced to deal with the sharp corner of the input signals,

Integrated Adaptive Steering Stability Control for Ground Vehicle with Actuator Saturations
During a steering manoeuvre in a ground vehicle, both yaw motion and roll motion can occur simultaneously, and their dynamics can be coupled, as the roll motion is generalized directly from the tires’ lateral force under steering.

Flight control system design with rate saturating actuators [PDF]
Actuator rate saturation is an important factor adversely affecting the stability and performance of aircraft flight control systems. It has been identified as a catalyst in pilot-induced oscillations, some of which have been catastrophic. A simple design technique is described that utilizes software rate limiters to improve the performance of control ...
