Introduction
The main objective of control and dynamics of the complex system in mechanical
engineering is to understand the complex system through the study of the model and boundaries
in the complex system. The design of the machines are getting complex along with the functions
of the machines. The main challenge is to increase the productivity in a cost effective way. The
design of automatic control theory is developed by the use of control engineering. This kind of
implementations sometimes overlaps with the application of the engineering of the other field
like electrical engineering. The practice of control engineering is consists of the usage of sensors
and the automation of the system. Systems, which are designed to perform without the human
interactions are called automates system. The use and implementation of automated system are
being developed in the controlling of the air craft and the transportation system. The design of
the automated control system depends mainly in the derivation of various mathematical
functions. The study of control theory is in the domain of mechanical engineering , however the
use of control theory can be on various fields like biology, electrical, chemical and financial
modeling. Though there the basic components and ideas of the controlling of the complex system
is static, there are certain improvements and innovations are made based on the theories.

with nonlinear dynamics. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(28), pp.7234-
7239.
The main objective of the paper is to identify the control over non- linear system by
network structure. The robust control strategy of a system depends on the feedback structure of
the network.
In order to find the effect of the network structure, a frame work is developed. The
developed framework is applied on the control system having a complex network structure. The
findings of the result determine the robustness of the system.
The complexity of the system may decrease the level of robustness of the system. The
findings of the paper will help to understand the effect of the feedback strategy and will help to
modify it accordingly in order to improve the robustness of the system.

The main objective of this paper is to observe the relationship between cost of the system
and the complexity of the machine. It has been found that with the increase of complexity of the
system the cost of machine is also increased.
The paper has described some industrial situations where the complexity of the machine
has delivered more sophisticated services but it also increase the production cost. In this paper
the other factors of increased cost has been searched and a comparative framework has been
proposed to reduce the cost while using the complex machine
The proposed framework can reduce the cost of using the complex system in the industry.
The adoption of the system can help the industry to get a better productivity within a reasonable
cost.
