Modern Control Systems presents the structure of feedback control theory and provides a sequence of exciting discoveries as students proceed through the text and problems. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this text is organised around the concepts of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of both classical and modern methods of control engineering to give students a strong foundation in basic principles that they can utilise to explore advanced topics in later chapters.
Emphasis is placed on real-world complex control systems and practical design applications as well as evolving design strategies like green engineering and human-centered design. Problem solving is strongly emphasised, with an abundance of problems of increasing complexity that help students learn to apply theory to computer-aided design and analysis concepts using MATLAB and LabVIEW MathScript. The 14th Edition incorporates over 20% new or updated problems, with a total of over 980 end-of-chapter exercises, problems, advanced problems, design problems, and computer problems.
Help students build a strong foundation in the principles of frequency and time-domain design techniques • An emphasis on the design and analysis of real-world, complex control systems is a major theme throughout the text, with real-world applications and examples that address ABET and industry standards. • Modern methods’ coverage includes discussions on robust control systems and system sensitivity, state variable models, controllability and observability, computer control systems, internal model control, robust PID controllers, and computer-aided design and analysis, to name a few. • Classical methods of control engineering are thoroughly covered: Laplace transforms and transfer functions; root locus design; Routh-Hurwitz stability analysis; frequency response methods, including Bode, Nyquist, and Nichols; steady-state error for standard test signals; second-order system approximations; and phase and gain margin and bandwidth. o Coverage of the state variable method is significant. o Fundamental notions of controllability and observability for state variable models are discussed. o Full state feedback design with Ackermann's formula for pole placement is presented, along with a discussion on the limitations of state variable feedback. • More advanced topics of robust control and digital control are presented in later chapters, as well as an entire chapter devoted to the design of feedback control systems with a focus on practical industrial lead and lag compensator structures. • Evolving design strategies coverage considers green engineering and human-centered design to teach future engineers the importance of designing products that minimize pollution, reduce the risk to human health, and improve the living environment. • Coverage of the evolution of the Internet of Things, a network of physical objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity used in control engineering, helps readers understand the multidisciplinary nature and scope of control engineering. • Coverage of computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB® and LabVIEW MathScript appears throughout the text and in end-of-chapter examples and problems. Progressively develop students' problem-solving skills through an integrated design and analysis approach to real-world engineering problems • UPDATED - Over 20% new or updated problems are included in this edition. In total, there are over 980 end-of-chapter exercises, problems, advanced problems, design problems, and computer problems which explore all aspects of modern control systems. The problems require students to extend their knowledge of the concepts to new situations, helping them develop their problem-solving skills as they advance through the text. • The Sequential Design Example uses real-world engineering problems associated with designing a controller for a disk drive read system, which are considered sequentially in each chapter. • The Continuous Design Problem gives students further opportunity to build upon a design problem from chapter to chapter and apply the techniques and tools presented to the development of a design solution that meets the specified requirements of table slide systems. • Skills Check sections provide three sets of problems to test students' knowledge of the chapter material. • UPDATED - An updated companion website is available to students and faculty using this edition. The website contains many resources, including all the m-files in the book, Laplace and z-Transform tables, written materials on matrix algebra and complex numbers, symbols, units, and conversion factors, and an introduction to the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module. • UPDATED - Expanded use of color throughout the text is used to add emphasis when needed and to make the graphs and figures easier to interpret. Pearson eText benefits for your students • UPDATED - Intuitive eText navigation. The newly redesigned interface looks and performs better than ever to make navigation a breeze. • UPDATED - Find it fast. Enhanced search makes it easy to quickly find a key term or topic to study. Students can also search videos, images, and their own notes. • UPDATED - Read online or offline. You and your students can download the mobile app to read wherever life takes you, even offline. The app is available on the App Store® and Google Play Store. • Help students personalize their eText. Students can easily add their own notes, bookmarks, and highlights directly in their eText. • Engage learners with compelling media. o NEW - Video Solutions offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text. o NEW - Interactive Figures, including dynamic graphs, provide new interactivity to help students visualize course concepts that are difficult to comprehend from static images. o NEW - Interactive Skills Check multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter help students test their understanding of what they've just read. • UPDATED - Let students check their understanding. Flashcards help students review key terms and concepts. Students can use pre-built flashcards or create their own to study how they like. (Available with select titles.)
