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 and SIMULINK throughout the text and end-of-chapter examples and problems.
• Reinforces the development of problem-solving ... MOREskills with five levels of end-of-chapter problems.
• Incorporates a Sequential Design Problem feature, using a disk drive read system as the example, to highlight the mail themes in each chapter and how they impact the design of a control system.
• Presents a Continuous Design Problem features which gives students the opportunity to apply the tools and techniques presented in each chapter to a design example carried throughout the text.
• Offers a supplement, which emphasizes modeling and the design process using MATLAB and SIMULINK.

NEW FEATURES:

• Introduces the use of SIMULINK, a valuable tool for control system simulation, including an appendix, which explains the basis.
• MATLAB Updated.
• New Companion Website for Professors and Students, including the latest MATLAB M-files, practice exams, student exercises with instant grading and other study aids.

Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this book 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. The book covers several important topics including 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. For all types of engineers who are interested in a solid introduction to control systems.

This text is designed for an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students. There is very little demarcation between aerospace, chemical, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering in control system practice: therefore this text is written without any bias towards one particular discipline. Thus, this book will be equally useful for all engineering disciplines and, perhaps, will assist in illustrating the utility of control engineering as a controlled discipline.
