Modern control systemsUpplaga 9

For more than twenty-five years, Modern Control Systems has set the standard of excellence for undergraduate control systems textbooks. It has remained a bestseller because Richard Dorf and Robert Bishop have been able to take complex control theory and make it exciting and accessible to students. The book presents a control engineering methodology that, while based on mathematical fundamentals, stresses physical system modeling and practical control system designs with realistic system specifications. 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 skills 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.
