Synopsis
This introduction to automatic control systems has been updated to reflect the increasing use of computer-aided learning and design. Aiming at a more accessible approach, this edition demonstrates the solution of complex problems with the aid of computer software; integrates several real world applications; provides a discussion of steady-state error analysis, including nonunity feedback systems; discusses circuit-realization of controller transfer functions; offers a treatment of Nyquist criterion on systems with nonminimum-phase transfer functions; explores time-domain and frequency domain designs side-by-side in one chapter; and adds a chapter on "Design of Discrete-Data Control Systems". It is designed for students on introductory level courses in control systems.
