This chapter addresses non‐linearities and how to take account of them in closed loop systems analysis. We therefore need to develop methods to accommodate nonlinearities as an extension of the linear analysis methods already established. These techniques use the concept of linearization where a system with nonlinear characteristics can be adequately represented by an equivalent linear representation. The nonlinearities can be classified into three different forms such as continuous nonlinearities, discontinuous nonlinearities and transport delay. The transport delay is special type of nonlinearity where there is specific time delay before an event or control action is measured. Simulation and modeling techniques are used by control system designers routinely as a means to verify or evaluate the dynamic behavior of control systems as an integral part of the design, development and certification process.
