DESCRIPTION:
* A complete tutorial on using MATLAB Version 5 in designing control systems prepares readers to use this important software tool.. Emphasizing the practical application of control systems engineering, the new Fourth Edition shows how to analyze and design real-world feedback control systems. * Continuous design examples give a realistic view of each stage in the control systems design process. * A methodology with clearly defined steps is presented for each type of design problem. Readers learn how to create control systems that support today's advanced technology and apply the latest computer methods to the analysis and design of control systems
"Good but be warned before hand" according to JLR. This book is nearly identical to the sixth edition; only the values of quantities were changed around in some of the end of chapter problems. From chapters 1-8 this book did a pretty good job at teaching the material. However, I did run into quite a few snags in chapter 9 where designing PID, and PI compensators are covered. At that point the explanations get so convoluted it becomes almost impossible to get what the author is trying to tell you. Also, in chapter 8 and beyond the author pulls a low move and constantly refers to a root locus software at wiley/nise (or whatever it was). Shake 'N Bake said Great for reading, but poor for solving. The text itself is pretty clear and provides good examples, however, when solving the problems at the end of each chapter, the author asks questions the reader will not understand. For example, it asks to draw a control system of a bathtub, but the solution for the bathtub requires a differential amplifier and float, which had not been explained leading up to the question. This turned a great book into a useless tool, because in order to begin to master the material a reader needs to be able to look at the problems and answer them based off the principles and lessons prior.. I really enjoyed this Control Systems book. JN This is a very good book!1) It has many well worked examples2) Many questions/exercises3) Well explained concepts and diagramsI also love the loose leaf version. It's much cheaper. I put it in ta 3 ring binder and the pages were very accessible.
As an added benefit, you'll learn how to apply MATLAB®–industry standard computer software–to the analysis and design of control systems.Key FeaturesPresents clearly defined steps for design problems.. The text presents material in a logical and progressive way that builds and supports your understanding of key concepts, and provides insight into the design of system configurations and parameters, using both qualitative and quantitative explanations. From the Back CoverWhat types of control systems will you face in the real world?The same ones you'll face in Nise's Fourth Edition of CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING.Emphasizing the practical application of control systems engineering, this Fourth Edition shows how to analyze and design real-world feedback control systems that support today's advanced technologies
