Description
The book provides an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at undergraduate level or one course at postgraduate level. The stress is on the interdisciplinary nature of subject and examples have been drawn from various engineering disciplines to illustrate the basic system concepts. A strong emphasis is laid on modeling of practical systems involving hardware; control components of a wide variety are comprehensively covered. Time and frequency domain techniques of analysis and design of control systems have been exhaustively treated and their interrelationship established.brbrAdequate breadth and depth is made available for second course. The coverage includes digital control systems: analysis, stability and classical design; state variables for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems; observers and pole-placement design; Liapunov stability; optimal control; and recent advances in control systems: adaptive control, fuzzy logic control, neural network control.brbrSalient FeaturesbrState variables concept introduced in Chapter 2brExamples and problems around obsolete technology updated and new examples addedbrRobotics modeling and control includedbrPID tuning procedure well explained and illustratedbrRobust control introduced in a simple and easily understood stylebrState variable formulation and design simplified and generalizations built on examplesbrDigital control; both classical and modern approaches, covered in depthbrA chapter on Adaptive, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network Control, amenable to undergraduate level use, includedbrChapter on Nonlinear Systems addedbrAn appendix in MATLAB with examples from time and frequency domain analysis and design, included.brThis edition is for sale in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan and Sri Lanka only.
