Modern Control Systems: Book Resources
Overview |
 |
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.
