Features: This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental theories, design methods, and many practical problems encountered in real-world applications of feedback control. It primarily introduces classical control theories such as root locus method and frequency response method, as well as modern control theories like state-space method and computer control technology, covering design tools, methods, implementation techniques, and analytical tools. This edition emphasizes practical applications, combining the author's extensive years of practical experience, and includes numerous application examples. Although challenging, these examples greatly aid in understanding and mastering the book's theories. Another feature of the book is the extensive use of widely used computer tools in control system analysis and design, such as MATLAB and Simulink, with detailed computational programs and results provided, offering excellent practical value for control system analysis and design. Additionally, the appendix of the book provides a wealth of fundamental theories and mathematical tools necessary for studying the book, along with solutions to carefully designed exercises for each chapter, making the book more complete and beneficial for self-study by engineering technicians. The author incorporated years of teaching experience into the writing of this book, placing significant emphasis on engineering concepts, practical problems, and engineering applications. The explanation of fundamental theories and design methods is presented in a step-by-step, progressively in-depth manner, which will be beneficial for readers to understand the content. The book is divided into nine chapters, integrating classical and modern control theories. Chapter 1 reviews the composition and principles of control systems through examples, while also providing a detailed introduction to the history of control theory and its key figures. Chapters 2 to 4 form the foundation of the book, conducting an in-depth analysis of dynamic system modeling and dynamic response, upon which the basic characteristics and superiority of feedback control are derived. Chapters 5 to 7 are the core of the book, introducing three effective methods for system design—root locus method, frequency response method, and state-space method. Building on this, Chapter 8 thoroughly studies the computer implementation of control laws, i.e., digital control theory, and provides detailed design methods. Finally, Chapter 9 synthesizes the above control system design methods through multiple specific examples and summarizes methods and steps suitable for general control system design. Furthermore, the book provides extensive appendices on fundamental knowledge of control theory, which greatly aids in learning the book. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in the field of automatic control, as well as graduate students from non-control disciplines, and can also be referenced by relevant technical personnel.
