For both undergraduate and graduate courses in Control System Design.
Using a “how to do it” approach with a strong emphasis on real-world design, this text provides comprehensive, single-source coverage of the full spectrum of control system design. Each of the text's 8 parts covers an area in control―ranging from signals and systems (Bode Diagrams, Root Locus, etc.), to SISO control (including PID and Fundamental Design Trade-Offs) and MIMO systems (including Constraints, MPC, Decoupling, etc.).
GRAHAM GOODWIN has over 30 years of experience in the area of control engineering covering research, education and industry. He is the author of seven books, 500 papers and holds four patents. He was the foundation Chairman of a spin-off company and is currently Directory of a special research center dedicated to systems and control research.
STEFAN GRAEBE's career spans both academic and industrial positions. He was previously research coordinator in the Centre for Industrial Control Science at the University of Newcastle. He is currently head of the Department of Optimization and Automation for the Schwechat refinery of OMV―Austria.
MARIO SALGADO received a Maters degree in Control from Imperial College and a Ph.D. from the University of Newcastle. He is currently an academic in the Department of Electronics at the Universidad Tecnica Frederico Santa Maria, Valparaíso―Chile. His interests include signal processing and control systems design.
