A time lag between a change of an input and the corresponding change of the output that real dynamical systems often show has a whole range of causes. For needs of mathematical modelling, it is aggregated into a total phenomenon called time delay or dead time [3]. In process control, one often encounters systems that can be described by transfer functions with time delays [1]. If a dynamical system with time delay is modelled as a time invariant linear system, its transfer function (rational function) becomes due to time delay a transcendental function [3]. For design and analysis purposes, these delays are usually approximated by rational transfer functions [2]. This is usually carried out using delay approximation methods Viz. Taylor series expansion, Padé.
PI and PID controllers have been at the heart of control engineering practice for seven decades [4]. The use of the PI or PID controller is ubiquitous in industry. It has been stated, for example, that in process control applications, and more than 95% of the controllers are of PI or PID type [1, 4, 5]. PID controllers can assure satisfactory performances with a simple algorithm for a wide range of processes [6, 7].
The Internal Model Control (IMC) provides a progressive, effective, natural, generic, unique, powerful, and simple framework for analysis and synthesis of control system performance [8-11]. The easiness and enhanced performance of the IMC based tuning rule, and the analytically derived IMC-PID tuning techniques have appealed the attention of the industrial users, in the past decade [10, 11]. The well-known IMC-PID tuning rule provides a clear compromise in the midst of closed loop performance and robustness to model uncertainties, and is achieved by only one us...

Factors Affecting the Time Period for Oscillations in a Mass-spring System. When a mass is attached to the end of a spring the downward force mass applied to the spring will cause the spring to extend. We know from Hooke's law that the force exerted by the masses attached to the spring will be proportional to the amount the spring extends. F = kx

The dynamic systems view was developed by Arnold Gesell in 1934 and explores how humans develop their motor skills. From Mr. Gesell’s observations, he was able to conclude that children develop their motor skills in a specific order and time frame. He concluded that children roll, walk, sit, and stand as a result of several factors – the ability to move, the environmental support to move and the motivation/goal to move. Once the child has the motivation, ability, and support, they accept the new challenge. After several failed and successful attempts, they begin to fine-tune and master the movement with continued support and motivation. The dynamic systems theory is not a random process that children experience, the skills are calculated and develop over a period of time.
In this approach, the focus will be on the internal control objectives so that the control design can be well assessed. First, the auditor will define the control measures and objectives and then find out which measures already installed meet the objectives (Tyrer, 1994).
