Features: This book is one of the series textbooks for mechanical engineering and automation (mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation) majors in higher education institutions, and also a key reference for the New Century Network Courses of the Ministry of Education. The book is divided into 8 chapters: Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Control Systems, Chapter 2 Mathematical Models, Chapter 3 Time-Domain Analysis, Chapter 4 Frequency-Domain Analysis, Chapter 5 Design and Compensation of Control Systems, Chapter 6 Linear Discrete Systems, Chapter 7 State-Space Analysis, and Chapter 8 Applications and Analysis of Control Systems. There are 5 appendices at the end of the book. Each chapter includes exercises, and Appendix E provides reference answers to the exercises. The book's features are: blurring the boundary between classical and modern control, emphasizing methodology; focusing on common issues to meet the needs of broadening professional scope; avoiding strict mathematical derivations and analyzing and solving problems from intuitive physical concepts; placing special emphasis on engineering applications, with numerous examples in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems in each chapter, as well as a dedicated chapter introducing successful engineering applications of control theory; using up-to-date materials and employing advanced software like MATLAB for system analysis and design; adopting a teaching-oriented structure that is easy to teach and learn; and equally valuing the transmission of scientific knowledge and the cultivation of innovative abilities.
