Modern Control Systems

Rate this book
Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this book is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers. The book covers several important topics including 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. For all types of engineers who are interested in a solid introduction to control systems.

Mondern Control Systems provides a basic introduction to classical control systems and methods. The topics covered include: open-loop systems, closed-loop feedback systems, transfer functions, stabilitiy analysis (absolute and relative stability), Root Locus methods, Routh-Huritz stability criterion, frequency and time domain responses, and Bode and Nyquist plots. In addition to the aforementioned items, the book devotes a chapter to the modern state variable method of control systems. The book also provides some introductory material on the evolution of feedback control systems.

A good book in explaining about a modern control.
But for who do not have basic about control system need to at least refer others book before proceed
with this book.

The author jam packs many concepts and examples with a dissertation on theory rather than general concepts and good step by step explanations. Look to control systems by Nise instead.

I rarely rate professional books here but this one is really brilliant. Almost everytime I pick up a section in spare time I'll find some new understandings there for me.

This book is ideal for beginners! I hope the next editions will have even more examples in matlab.
