Synopsis:

This text has been revised to make more use of MATLAB integration, and features a new chapter on digital controls. Whilst maintaining its real-world perspectives and practical applications, this edition also features: expanded and updated coverage of state space topics; tutorial instruction on using MATLAB in controls and designated MATLAB problems; and a wider variety of applications in examples and problems. This text is intended for students taking courses in electrical and mechanical engineering.

From the Back Cover:

For more than twenty-five years, Modern Control Systems has set the standard of excellence for undergraduate control systems textbooks. It has remained a bestseller because Richard Dorf and Robert Bishop have been able to take complex control theory and make it exciting and accessible to students. The book presents a control engineering methodology that, while based on mathematical fundamentals, stresses physical system modeling and practical control system designs with realistic system specifications.

HALLMARK FEATURES:

• Provides clear exposition of the basic principles of control system design techniques using frequency-and time-domain methods including robust control design and an introduction to digital control systems.
• Offers an integrated design and analysis approach to real-world engineering problems.
• Incorporates computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB and SIMULINK throughout the text and end-of-chapter examples and problems.
• Reinforces the development of problem-solving skills with five levels of end-of-chapter problems.
• Incorporates a Sequential Design Problem feature, using a disk drive read system as the example, to highlight the mail themes in each chapter and how they impact the design of a control system.
• Presents a Continuous Design Problem features which gives students the opportunity to apply the tools and techniques presented in each chapter to a design example carried throughout the text.
• Offers a supplement, which emphasizes modeling and the design process using MATLAB and SIMULINK.

NEW FEATURES:

• Introduces the use of SIMULINK, a valuable tool for control system simulation, including an appendix, which explains the basis.
• MATLAB Updated.
• New Companion Website for Professors and Students, including the latest MATLAB M-files, practice exams, student exercises with instant grading and other study aids.
