ABSTRACT

MFAC was first proposed for a class of nonlinear systems in 1994 [23]. Since then, the MFAC theory has been developed and improved. The MFAC approach has been successfully implemented in many practical applications, for example, the linear motor [29,30], the pH neutralization process [262,263], freeway traffic control [209,210,264,265], the antirolling system for large warships [266,267], liquid-level control [25,268,269], the glass furnace control system [270], the magnetic suspension switched reluctance motor [271], MR dampers [272], the power plant main-steam pressure control system [273], ball mill load control [274,275], large radio telescope control [276], cable-mesh reflector control [277], feed cabin supporting structure control [278], electrical furnace control [279], the multipoint forming process [280], the underwater towed heave compensation system [281],

injection molding [30], the welding process [282-285], vertical drilling control [286], macroeconomic dynamic control [287], the multiwire saw system [288], the electrode regulator system of arc furnace [289], load control of wind turbine [290,291], the blood pump [292,293], the voltage source PWM rectifier [294], and so on.
