Modern Control Systems (12th Edition)

Description

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.

Key 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
• 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
