Nonlinear modelling and control of turbocharged diesel engines

The main focus of this thesis is the investigation of nonlinear control designs on the airpath of a diesel engine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). This problem presents strong couplings between controlled variables and actuators, since both EGR...
