Short Description
Modeling, analysis and control of dynamic systems have interested engineers for a long time. Within recent years, because of the ability to use high powered computers in calculations and design, the need for more detailed models has become prevalent. New control systems are indispensable to the success of many businesses, particularly in optics, robotics, micromachines and precision engineering. This book presents comprehensive coverage dynamic systems, such as mechanical and electrical systems, as well as fluid and thermal systems. This new edition features "just-in-time" introduction of the required mathematics and Matlab. Includes expanded modeling coverage and revised treatment of discrete-time systems. Practical illustrations of control systems and controller action are included throughout the book.
A Comprehensive Introduction to a Dynamic Field More modeling.more controls.more electrical and mechanical devices.. The second edition contains more coverage of key topics for a comprehensive introduction to dynamic systems and control. This includes modeling and analysis techniques, the fundamentals and applications of control systems, transfer functions, sensitivity and robust control, and digital control. Engineering design is also emphasized throughout the text with case studies, design examples, problems, and extensive hardware coverage. Key Features of the Second Edition
* Extensive coverage on modeling is expanded to four chapters. The selection of engineering examples and the clear writing effectively relates the math methods to the real world.
* Laplace transform response techniques are introduced as needed in the context of engineering applications. This approach clearly demonstrates the need for and the power of these techniques.
* Case studies are integrated throughout the text to provide in-depth treatment of practical engineering applications such as motion control system design, electromechanical system design, vehicle suspension design, and aircraft response modes.
* Optional sections at the end of each chapter introduce Matlab commands and applications relevant to the chapter's topics.
* Digital controller design using Matlab is covered without the need for z-transform theory.
