DescriptionThe book is intended to present concise, yet comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of control system theory and application. The necessary mathematical tools have been developed through illustrative examples for better understanding of the concepts. This adapted revised edition contains additional topics on State Variable Analysis, Time Response of First Order and Second Order Systems and Discrete State Space Analysis for up-to date coverage. Numerous solved examples and practice questions are given in the book for practice. MATLAB examples are included in the book to help students in solving problems.Key FeaturesNew topics added on ‘State Variable Analysis,’ ‘Time Response of First Order & Second Order’ and ‘Discrete State Space Analysis’Unified exposition of continuous time and discrete time control systems conceptsSeparate chapter on ‘Advanced Topics in Control Systems’ and ‘Nonlinear Control Systems’ for complete coverage of control systems.Table of ContentsIntroductionControl System TerminologyDifferential Equations, Difference Equations and Linear SystemsLaplace Transform and Z TransformTransfer FunctionsBlock Diagram Algebra and Transfer Functions of SystemsSignal Flow GraphsSystem Sensitivity Measures and Classification of Feedback SystemsStabilityAnalysis and Design of Feedback Control Systems: Objectives & MethodsRoot Locus AnalysisNyquist AnalysisNyquist DesignRoot Locus DesignBode AnalysisBode DesignNichols Chart AnalysisNichols Chart DesignIntroduction to Nonlinear Control SystemsIntroduction to Advanced Topics in Control Systems Analysis and Design
