Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems, 8e

Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems, 8th Edition, covers the material that every engineer needs to know about feedback control-including concepts like stability, tracking, and robustness. Each chapter presents the fundamentals along with comprehensive, worked-out examples, all within a real-world context and with historical background provided. The text is devoted to supporting students equally in their need to grasp both traditional and more modern topics of digital control, and the author's focus on design as a theme early on, rather than focusing on analysis first and incorporating design much later. The 8th Edition has been revised with up-to-date information, along with brand-new sections, problems, and examples.Features A comprehensive and easy-to-understand introduction is devoted to supporting students equally in their need to grasp both traditional and more modern topics of digital control. New material has been added based on user feedback and the text has been updated throughout to include the improved features of MATLAB®. An entire chapter devoted to case studies covers real problems in a variety of fields and draws on all the design methods covered in the book. New examples, updates, and additions keep the material relevant and up-to-date. Over 60 of the problems in this edition are either new or revised from the previous edition.
