Design of Feedback Control Systems (Oxford Electrical and Computer Engineering (Hardcover))

<em>Design of Feedback Control Systems</em> is designed for electrical and mechanical engineering students in advanced undergraduate control systems courses. Now in its fourth edition, this tutorial-style textbook has been completely updated to include the use of modern analytical software, especially MATLAB®. It thoroughly discusses classical control theory and state variable control theory, as well as advanced and digital control topics. Each topic is preceded by analytical considerations that provide a well-organized parallel treatment of analysis and design. Design is presented in separate chapters devoted to root locus, frequency domain, and state space viewpoints. Treating the use of computers as a means rather than as an end, this student-friendly book contains new "Computer-Aided Learning" sections that demonstrate how MATLAB® can be used to verify all figures and tables in the text. Clear and accessible, <em>Design of Feedback Control Systems, Fourth Edition,</em> makes complicated methodology comprehensible to a wide spectrum of students.<br><br><strong>Features</strong><br><br></br>· Keyed to today's dominant design tool, MATLAB®<br><br></br>· Includes drill problems for gauging knowledge and skills after each topic<br><br></br>· Provides state-of-the-art design examples<br><br></br>· Uses marginal summaries to guide the reader<br><br></br>· Introduces new ideas in the context of previous material, with a guide to the information that follows<br><br></br>· Presents practical examples of the latest advances in control sciences<br>
