Feedback Control Systems (5th Edition)

Description

For junior/senior-level Control Theory courses in Electrical, Mechanical, and Aerospace Engineering.

For a First Course in Control Systems.

Feedback Control Systems, 5th Edition offers a thorough analysis of the principles of classical and modern feedback control in language that can be understood by students and practicing engineers with no prior background in the subject matter. Organized into three sections — analog control systems, digital control systems, and nonlinear analog control systems —this text helps students understand the difference between mathematical models and the physical systems that the models represent.

The Fifth edition provides a new introduction to modern control analysis and design for digital systems, the addition of emulation methods of design for digital control, and numerous other updates.
