For senior/graduate-level first courses in Control Theory in departments of Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, and Chemical Engineering.
This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory—and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout the text.
- NEW - Chapter 10 first discusses PID control in general and then presents two-degrees-of-freedom control systems—Presents a computational (MATLAB) method to determine system parameters so the system will have desired transient characteristics.
- NEW - Improved chapter on the design of control systems in state space (Chapter 12)—Treats pole placement and observer design. Chapter includes quadratic optimal control. MATLAB is extensively used in the design problems using pole placement and observer design.
- In-depth treatment of topics.
-
Emphasizes the basic concepts and the design aspects of control systems.
-
- An accessible presentation—Avoids highly mathematical arguments.
-
Introduces mathematical proofs whenever they contribute to an understanding of the material.
-
- Over 100 examples.
-
Helps clarify students' understanding of the material at strategic points throughout the text.
-
- Over 200 chapter-end worked problems and 200 unsolved problems.
-
Helps students fully understand the text material and provides numerous new solved problems.
-
- An introduction to the two-degrees-of-freedom control system and design conditions on robust control.
-
Presents MATLAB approach to design high performance control systems.
-
- An example of a design of a nonlinear model-reference control system.
-
Formulates conditions for Liapunov stability and then designs the system within these limitations.
-
- Comprehensive coverage of root-locus analyses—Not found in other texts.
- Detailed coverage of frequency response of control systems.
- Chapter 10 first discusses PID control in general and then presents two-degrees-of-freedom control systems—Presents a computational (MATLAB) method to determine system parameters so the system will have desired transient characteristics.
