Written to inspire and cultivate the ability to design and analyze feasible control algorithms for a wide range of engineering applications, this comprehensive text covers the theoretical and practical principles involved in the design and analysis of control systems. From the development of the mathematical models for dynamic systems, the author shows how they are used to obtain system response and facilitate control, then addresses advanced topics, such as digital control systems, adaptive and robust control, and nonlinear control systems. Control systems cut across many fields of engineering-aerospace, chemical, electrical, industrial and mechanical. The feedback control theory presented in this book holds significant practical interest because it provides insight into the fundamental nature of control systems and how to engineer effective controllers. By combining three courses of material into one volume, Design and Analysis of Control Systems becomes the perfect text for professionals as a self-study or reference.
