Whenever a control strategy for a manufacturing system is designed, the aim of the designer is to obtain a solution which is both optimal, and involves and handles all constraints induced by the industrial application environment. The hybrid control system approach presented here aims to be a methodology for designing control laws showing a good balance of sub-optimality properties and of knowledge-based capabilities of handling real constraints.

"Hybrid systems are networks of interacting digital and analog devices. Control systems for inherently unstable aircraft and computer aided manufacturing are typical applications for hybrid systems, but due to the rapid development of processor and circuit technology modern cars and consumer electronics use software to control physical processes. The identifying characteristic of hybrid systems is that they incorporate both continuous components governed by differential equations and also digital components - digital computers, sensors, and actuators controlled by programs. This volume of invited refereed papers is inspired by a workshop on the Theory of Hybrid Systems, held at the Technical University, Lyngby, Denmark, in October 1992, and by a prior Hybrid Systems Workshop, held at Cornell University, USA, in June 1991, organized by R.L. Grossman and A. Nerode. Some papers are the final versions of papers presented at these workshops and some are invited papers from other researchers who were not able to attend these workshops."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.

A graduate-level textbook, Hybrid Dynamical Systems provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the theory of hybrid systems. It emphasizes results that are central to a good understanding of the importance and role of such systems. The authors have developed the materials in this book while teaching courses on hybrid systems, cyber-physical systems, and formal methods. This textbook helps students to become familiar with both the major approaches coloring the study of hybrid dynamical systems. The computer science and control systems points of view – emphasizing discrete dynamics and real time, and continuous dynamics with switching, respectively – are each covered in detail. The book shows how the behavior of a system with tightly coupled cyber- (discrete) and physical (continuous) elements can best be understood by a model simultaneously encompassing all the dynamics and their interconnections. The theory presented is of fundamental importance in a wide range of emerging fields from next-generation transportation systems to smart manufacturing.Features of the text include: extensive use of examples to illustrate the main concepts and to provide insights additional to those acquired from the main text; chapter summaries enabling students to assess their progress; end-of-chapter exercises, which test learning as a course proceeds; an instructor’s guide showing how different parts of the book can be exploited for different course requirements; and a solutions manual, freely available for download by instructors adopting the book for their teaching. Access to MATLAB and Stateflow is not required but would be beneficial, especially for exercises in which simulations are a key tool.

Hybrid dynamical systems are a class of complex systems that involve interacting discrete-event and continuous-variable dynamics. They are important in applications in embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, robotics, manufacturing systems, traffic management, biomolecular networks, and have recently been at the center of intense research activity in the control theory, computer-aided verification, and artificial intelligence communities. This paper provides a tutorial introduction to this multidisciplinary research area. A number of fundamental topics, such as modeling, abstraction, verification, supervisory control, stability analysis, stabilization, and optimal control of hybrid systems are introduced and discussed. Additionally, more advanced topics are briefly discussed at the end of each chapter with references given for further reading.

This book focuses on the emerging additive manufacturing technology and its applications beyond state-of-the-art, fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. It also discusses the development of a hybrid, integrated process that combines additive and subtractive operations in a single-step platform, allowing CAD-to-Part production with freeform shapes using long or continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. The book covers the entire value chain of this next-generation technology, from part design and materials composition to transformation stages, product evaluation, and end-of-life studies. Moreover, it addresses the following engineering issues: • Design rules for hybrid additive manufacturing; • Thermoplastic compounds for high-temperature and -strength applications; • Advanced extrusion heads and process concepts; • Hybridisation strategies; • Software ecosystems for hAM design, pre-processing, process planning, emulating and multi-axis processing; • 3D path generators for hAM based on a multi-objective optimisation algorithm that matches the recent curved adaptive slicing method with a new transversal scheme; • hAM parameters, real-time monitoring and closed-loop control; • Multiparametric nondestructive testing (NDT) tools customised for FRTP AM parts; • Sustainable manufacturing processes validated by advanced LCA/LCC models.
