Synopsis:

The appearance of this book in the series 'Tutorial Guides in Electronic Engineer- ing' is a reflection of the importance attached to control in electronics and electrical engineering curricula. Yet control engineering is essentially interdisciplinary in nature, and plays a fundamental role in many other areas of technology. I have therefore tried to make this text equally relevant to readers whose main interest lie outside electronics, by concentrating on general systems characteristics rather than on specific implementations. I have restricted myself to the 'classical' approach to single-input, single-output systems, since I feel this is the most appropriate subject matter for a first course in control. However, the Tutorial Guide style, with its detailed treatment of simple design examples, should also render the text useful to practising engineers who need to revise and apply dimly remembered material - or even to those whose training did not include control. is assumed to be familiar with complex numbers, phasors, and The reader elementary calculus. Apart from these topics, the mathematical requirements are of simple first- and second-order linear differential few, although prior knowledge equations would be useful.

Synopsis: Providing an introductory treatment of a difficult and sometimes over-mathematical subject, this text emphasizes the twin themes of modelling and design. The reader should ultimately appreciate the nature and significance of the modelling process (with particular reference to standard linear models) and understand and apply a range of classical control system design techniques. Modern techniques are emphasized throughout - with CAD tools fully covered and means of implementation via digital control included in the final chapter. Further topics such as control objectives and strategies, modelling dynamic systems, design (a frequency response approach), the S Plane and Root Laws, Design (a variety of techniques) and some practical aspects are included. In common with other books in this series, there are numerous worked examples, problems (with answers) and marginal notes, plus chapter objectives, summaries and references. This book should be of interest to degree or advanced diploma level students on courses of electrical, electronic, mechanical, production, chemical and aeronautical engineering.
