Author Description

Analysis and control of time-delayed systems have large number of applications areas including mechanical, control, economic, to biological systems. There has been a steady stream of interest in time-delayed dynamic systems. This book takes a snap shot of this active research area, and contains the research work and survey articles from the world leading experts on analysis and control of dynamic systems with time delay. The topics covered in the book include solution methods, stability analysis and control of periodic dynamic systems with time delay, bifurcations, stochastic dynamics and control, delayed Hamiltonian systems, uncertain dynamic systems with time delay, and experimental investigations of delayed structural control. This book can be a valuable reference to the research in the areas of mechanical, civil, structural, aerospace, naval, and electrical engineers, and can serve as a study guide to graduate students pursuing research in the area of dynamics and control.
