The use of MATLAB is expanded to many control systems analysis and design problems (See Section 8-4). Computational optimization approach with MATLAB is emphasized throughout the text.
Over 150 chapter-end worked problems and 180 unsolved problems help students fully understand the text material. Many of the solved problems are new.
New introductory discussion of robust control theory explains robust control systems.
Several chapters are combined to create a more streamlined approach. There are 10 chapters now instead of 12.
Improved chapter on the design of control systems in state space (Chapter 10) Treats pole placement and observer design. Chapter includes quadratic optimal control. MATLAB is extensively used in the design problems using pole placement and observer design.
Significantly revised chapters include: Chapter 6 Control Systems Analysis and Design by the Root-Locus Method Chapter 7 Control Systems Analysis and Design by the Frequency Response Method Chapter 8 PID Controllers and Modified PID Controllers Chapter 8 first discusses PID control in general and then presents two-degrees-of-freedom control systems. MATLAB methods determine system parameters so the system will have the desired transient characteristics.
Updated Appendices Laplace Transform tables and partial fraction expansion with MATLAB are presented in Appendix A and B. Short summary of vector matrix analysis is presented in Appendix C. This Appendix will be useful in obtaining the inverses of n x n matrices that may be involved in the analysis and design of control systems.
To facilitate students' understanding of the material, improvements were made in the presentation of l3¨
