Modern Control Engineering

by Katsuhiko Ogata

This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory?and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout the book. Chapter topics include the Laplace transform; mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, electrical systems, fluid systems, and thermal systems; transient and steady-state-response analyses, root-locus analysis and control systems design by the root-locus method; frequency-response analysis and control systems design by the frequency-response; two-degrees-of-freedom control; state space analysis of control systems and design of control systems in state space.

About the author

Katsuhiko Ogata is a professor of engineering who was born in Tokyo , Japan ; on January 6 of 1925 . He earned a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 1947. After receiving his degree, he spent three years as a research assistant at the Scientific Research Institute in Tokyo , followed by two years of industrial experience in Nippon Steel Tube Company, Japan. In 1952 he received a scholarship "Fulbright Travel Grant" to go to the United States and more advanced degrees. He earned a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1953, and a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of California , Berkeley in 1956.

Shortly after receiving his doctorate in 1956, he joined the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota to teach and do research in the field of control systems. While he maintains his tenure at the University of Minnesota, also taught control systems in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yokohama National University , Japan, for a total of three years.

K. Ogata, has authored seven textbooks, three of which have been published in various editions. His philosophy of writing has been that university engineering students should not spend too much time in deriving or verifying mathematical equations in control engineering. So in his books includes all leads and necessary for the student to understand the material from books without problems with math tests. This approach was well accepted by the control community worldwide. As a result, most of his books were translated into other languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Polish, Korean, Chinese, Malay. To date, 20 foreign editions of his books have been published. [ citation needed ]



While college counselor was about twenty years ago, its clear and thorough advice has earned him an award for Outstanding Advisor of the University of Minnesota.

It belongs to ASME , a member of Sigma Xi and Pi Tau Sigma . His biography is listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World, Marquis Who's Who in America, among others. [ citation needed ]

In 1999 won the "John R. Ragazzini Education" Award for distinction, because for a period of thirty years he has written textbooks on dynamics and control systems are widely recognized, especially, "Modern Control Engineering".

His most significant books ranging from "System Dynamics", "Modern Control Engineering", "Control Systems in Discrete Time", "Problems of Control Engineering using Matlab" to "Children's Literature, Briefly".

Life is about closed loop system : Approaching the target, reducing the error, controlling the proccess..

hmm, the first control book i've ever reaad. still clearly in my mind the whole story of this book. from the system theory, laplace domain, simple control, lead lag, pid control, pole placement, etc.
thanks to this book i could pass my QE examination :)

I actually thought this one was a little tough, but truly well done and thus recommended.

Only control engineering book which ever made sense to me :p

[Rubén de los Santos Reyes · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite book about continous linear time invariant systems, in a practical approach. It includes many engineering problems, and a wide variety of topics like time and frequency domain analysis and synthesis control techniques, as state-space tools like pole placement, observers and so on. Very recommendated.

[Juan Garcia Acosta · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es bueno cuando ya se tiene experiencia pero en mi caso no me quedaron claros muchos temas. Tiene demasiadas ecuaciones y aunque los primeros capítulos son excelentes se vuelve más complejo conforme se avanza. En general es bueno pero no excelente.

[Joe Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of examples with detailed step-by-step solving shown.
Different types of examples (Hand-calculations/MATLAB) of varying difficulties.
Very dense material.

Es un buen libro de control, pero es bueno complementar con otros autores.

[Álvaro Riquelme · Rating 5 out of 5]

Es la Biblia del control automático, los tópicos son explicados siempre con ejemplos

Good book but i just prefer nagoor kani's book compared to this. This book has matlab solutions for each of the numericals.
