Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Dynamic Systems

A Comprehensive Introduction to a Dynamic Field More modeling.morecontrols.more electrical and mechanical devices.. The secondedition contains more coverage of key topics for a comprehensiveintroduction to dynamic systems and control. This includes modelingand analysis techniques, the fundamentals and applications ofcontrol systems, transfer functions, sensitivity and robustcontrol, and digital control. Engineering design is also emphasizedthroughout the text with case studies, design examples, problems,and extensive hardware coverage. Key Features of the SecondEdition
∗ Extensive coverage on modeling is expanded to four chapters. Theselection of engineering examples and the clear writing effectivelyrelates the math methods to the real world.
∗ Laplace transform response techniques are introduced as needed inthe context of engineering applications. This approach clearlydemonstrates the need for and the power of these techniques.
∗ Case studies are integrated throughout the text to providein–depth treatment of practical engineering applications such asmotion control system design, electromechanical system design,vehicle suspension design, and aircraft response modes.
∗ Optional sections at the end of each chapter introduce Matlabcommands and applications relevant to the chapter′s topics.
∗ Digital controller design using Matlab is covered without theneed for z–transform theory.
