Control system design

by Graham C. Goodwin

Using a refreshingly new and practical approach to the study of exciting discipline of control engineering, this book offers in-depth, single-source coverage of the complete spectrum of control system design-from simple classical ideas to sophisticated multi-variable problems. It emphasizes the funda-mental control aspects-signals, systems, and feedback-that are common to all applications and provides details of several real-world examples so as to present a comprehensive treatment within an integrated framework. Although the central theme of the book is continuous-time control, it covers material essential to the understanding of discrete-time control as modern control systems are usually implemented on some form of computer hardware. The flexible organization of the book allows structuring of many different course patterns for both undergraduate and graduate students in control engineering. Table of Contents Part I: The Elements-The Excitement of Control Engineering. Introduction to the Principles of Feedback. Modeling. Continuous-Time Signals and Systems.
