Introduction to Control System Design - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Introduction to Control System Design equips students with the basic concepts, tools, and knowledge they need to effectively design automatic control systems. The text not only teaches readers how to design a control system, it inspires them to innovate and expand current methods to address new automation technology challenges and opportunities.

The text is designed to support a two-quarter/semester course and is organized into two main parts. Part I covers basic linear system analysis and model-assembly concepts. It presents readers with a short history of control system design and introduces basic control concepts using first-order and second order-systems. Additional chapters address the modeling of mechanical and electrical systems, as well as assembling complex models using subsystem interconnection tools.

Part II focuses on linear control system design. Students learn the fundamentals of feedback control systems; stability, regulation, and root locus design; time delay, plant uncertainty, and robust stability; and state feedback and linear quadratic optimization. The final chapter covers observer theory and output feedback control and reformulates the linear quadratic optimization problem as the more general H₂ problem.
