The book presents a control engineering methodology that, while based on mathematical fundamentals, stresses physical system modeling and practical control system designs with realistic system specifications.
Hallmark Features:
Provides clear exposition of the basic principles of control system design techniques using frequency- and time-domain methods including robust control design and an introduction to digital control systems.
Offers an integrated design and analysis approach to real-world engineering problems.
Incorporates computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB throughout the text and end-of-chapter examples and problems.
Reinforces the development of problem-solving skills with five levels of end-of-chapter problems.
New Features: Introduces a Sequential Design Problem feature, using a disk drive read system as the example, to highlight the main themes in each chapter and how they impact the design of a control system.
Presents a Continuous Design Problem feature which gives students the opportunity to apply the tools and techniques presented in each chapter to a design example carried throughout the text.
Introduces the PID controller earlier in the text to mirror its importance in industry.
Offers a supplement which emphasizes modeling and the design process using MATLAB and SIMULINK.
