Modern Control Systems

by Richard C. Dorf, Robert H. Bishop

Two new features have been added to the eighth edition to complement the book's strong integration of design and analysis. The Sequential Design Problem feature, using a disk drive as the example, highlights the main themes in each chapter and how they impact the design of a control system. A Continuous Design Problem is included at the end of each problem set to give students an opportunity to model, analyze, and design various types of controllers for a table-top machine tool as they proceed through the chapters. The textbook provides a clear exposition of the basic principles of control system design techniques using frequency- and time-domain methods as well as the state variable method.

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.

good book

[Saif]

Bad explaining, but good Advanced and Design Problems.

[Shuhada Karim]

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.

[Joshua Adorno Rivera]

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.

amazing

[Tawfeeq Amro]

Good book in Control systems

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.
