Description

For an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students.

 

Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this text is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers. Many examples throughout give students ample opportunity to apply the theory to the design and analysis of control systems. Incorporates computer-aided design and analysis using Matlab and LabVIEW MathScript.


Features

  • 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.
  • An integrated design and analysis approach to real-world engineering problems.
  • Five levels of end-of-chapter problems–Includes Exercises, Problems, Advanced Problems, Design Problems, and Computer Problems for MATLAB® and LabVIEW MathScript.
  • Coverage of computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB® and LabVIEW MathScript–Appears throughout the text and in end-of-chapter examples and problems.
  • Coverage of several topics–Robust control systems and system sensitivity, state variable models, controllability and observability, computer control systems, internal model control, robust PID controllers, and computer-aided design and analysis.
  • The topic of design of real-world, complex control system is a major theme throughout the text–Places emphasis on design for real-world applications, which addresses interest in design by ABET and industry.
  • At least one design problem in each chapter–This addresses the interest in design of ABET and industry.
  • Refined root locus chapter (Ch. 7)–Simplifies the root locus sketching procedure and re-emphasizes the use of computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB®.
  • Expanded time-domain design methods using state variables, including full-state feedback controllers and observers (Ch. 11)–Gives an improved presentation on fundamental issues of observability and controllability.
  • Increased emphasis on the use of block diagrams in system analysis throughout–Includes additional diagrams in most cases where only signal flow graphs were previously given.


New To This Edition

 

  • 35% new/reworked end-of-chapter problems
  •  “Desired Chapter Outcomes” added to each chapter to aide students and address ABET specific requirements. 
  • Incorporated design-oriented material for each chapter. In the early chapters, the emphasis is on modeling and in latter chapters on chapter-relevant design methods.
  • Refreshed all computer-aided examples and sections to emphasize “computer-aided design” using “m-files”
  • Revised Chapters 2 and 3 to re-emphasize the importance of modeling in the overall control design process.
  • Rewrote Chapters 4 and 5 to better integrate key material, differentiate important topics and eliminate subject overlap.
  • Updated reference list for each chapter.
