Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems FROM THE PUBLISHER
This introductory book provides an in-depth, comprehensive treatment of a collection of classical and state-space approaches to control system design—and ties the methods together so that a designer is able to pick the method that best fits the problem at hand. It includes case studies and comprehensive examples with close integration of MATLAB throughout the book. Chapter topics include an overview and brief history of feedback control, dynamic models, dynamic response, basic properties of feedback, the root-locus design method, the frequency-response design method, state-space design, digital control, and control-system design. A basic reference for control systems engineers.
SYNOPSIS
Combining analysis with design using the three approaches of the root locus, frequency response, and state variable equations, this engineering text presents the mathematical background on the design of feedback control in a wide range of systems. After covering basic information, chapters address dynamic modeling; dynamic response as used in control; and the essential effects of feedback on tracking accuracy, disturbance rejection, and sensitivity to modal errors. The exercises emphasize the ability to do basic calculations by hand, in order to facilitate understanding. This new edition adds discussion of digital control to the material. Annotation c.

FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A textbook that develops insights into the problems of control and intuition about methods available to solve them, emphasizes design in parallel with analysis techniques, shows the unity among the several individual design techniques and synthesizes them into a "toolbox" of problem-solving methods, and presents this interdisciplinary material in a way that is easily understood by students from any engineering background. In addition to pedagogical enhancements, this edition adds computer commands for many operations and makes available a MATLAB toolbox with files that will reproduce many of the figures of the text.
