Modern Control Engineering

Bol Partner

This comprehensive treatment of the continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory - and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout. This edition reorganizes content to cover all basic materials of control systems in the first ten chapters, leaving advanced topics to the last. It provides detailed explanations on how to write MATLAB programs to solve a variety of problems in control engineering, expands coverage of the design aspects of control engineering with many new design problems; adds an introduction to robust control; and includes many new computational problems - all solved with MATLAB.

This book covers topic related to the theory of digital and modern control systems design: state space description and analysis of continuous and discrete time dynamic systems including optimal control solutions. At the end of the course, the students should be able to: 1. Perform state-space modelling of dynamical systems. 2. Use state-space representation to solve continuous time linear multivariable and discrete-time systems. 3. Conduct analysis and design of control systems, with emphasize on stability. 4. Explain the methods used for optimal control system analysis and design. 5. Use Riccatti equation to design an optimal control system. 6. Have the competence to independently read the literature in control and systems theory.
