Linear Control Systems in Engineering

Basics and Beyond

Beschreibung

This textbook examines classical and modern control strategies toward systems' best performance, especially concerning design and operations. It simplifies control theory concepts through related mathematics and examples of real-life systems worldwide.

Linear Control Systems in Engineering: Basics and Beyond covers the fundamental principles of control systems and advanced topics providing a comprehensive resource for readers at different levels of ability. It is written in an infographic language as much as possible, making complex concepts in control systems accessible to a broad audience, including students and professionals. The textbook includes many examples and practical exercises to reinforce learning and demonstrate how control systems work in various engineering domains. The textbook focuses on both the conventional and contemporary control systems technologies and trends, such as digital control, automation, and robust control. It also highlights analysis, stability, and optimization techniques for control systems in a sole source.

The textbook is written for both undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with the subjects of electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, chemical, and aerospace engineering. It will take the reader from basic concepts and applications to advanced topics, and the book will be the sole source to reach knowledge and explore future possibilities related to control design techniques, methodologies, and operations from basic to beyond.

A solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are available for qualified textbook adoption.
