      abstract = {This book explores the direct thrust force control (DTFC)  of tubular surface-mount linear permanent magnet  synchronous motors (linear PMSMs). It presents a detailed  account and analysis of several advanced nonlinear control  schemes, based on the direct thrust control principle, to  achieve a reduction in steady-state ripple in thrust force  with faster transient response, and describes their  experimental validation. It also provides rigorous details  of the dynamic modelling of linear PMSMs from a control  system perspective, and demonstrates the superior control  performance of the proposed techniques compared to the  current state-of-the-art techniques. Lastly, the book  proposes and validates a stator flux observer for  sensorless speed estimation comprising a linear state  observer and an improved sliding mode component.},
