• 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 MATLAB® Problems.

• Coverage of computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB® and Simulink—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.

  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.
