Steady state — is a more general situation than dynamic equilibrium. If a system is in steady state, then the recently observed behavior of the system will continue into the future. In stochastic systems, the probabilities that various different states will be… … Wikipedia
steady state — exists when periodic (or constant) vehicle responses to periodic (or constant) control and/or disturbance inputs do not change over an arbitrarily long time. The motion responses in steady state are referred to as steady state responses. This… … Mechanics glossary
Steady State (Thermodynamics) — A steady state system in thermodynamics is when there is a process with numerous properties that are unchanging in time. In a control volume which is in steady state, the actual matter in the system is changing constantly but the amount of matter … Wikipedia

Control reconfiguration — is an active approach in control theory to achieve fault tolerant control for dynamic systems [1]. It is used when severe faults, such as actuator or sensor outages, cause a break up of the control loop, which must be restructured to prevent… … Wikipedia

Control system — For other uses, see Control system (disambiguation). A control system is a device, or set of devices to manage, command, direct or regulate the behavior of other devices or system. There are two common classes of control systems, with many… … Wikipedia
control theory — Field of applied mathematics relevant to the control of certain physical processes and systems. It became a field in its own right in the late 1950s and early 60s. After World War II, problems arising in engineering and economics were recognized… … Universalium
Controller (control theory) — In control theory, a controller is a device which monitors and affects the operational conditions of a given dynamical system. The operational conditions are typically referred to as output variables of the system which can be affected by… … Wikipedia
State-building — is a term used in state theory. It describes the construction of a functioning state. This concept was first used in connection to the creation of states in Western Europe and focused on the power enforcement of state in society (Tilly 1975).… … Wikipedia
Control theory — For control theory in psychology and sociology, see control theory (sociology) and Perceptual Control Theory. The concept of the feedback loop to control the dynamic behavior of the system: this is negative feedback, because the sensed value is… … Wikipedia
