Modern Control Engineering, Fourth Edition: Modern Control Engineering

Author: Katsuhiko Ogata
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Publication Date: 2002-02-01
Features:
· NEW—Chapter 10 first discusses PID control in general and then presents two-degrees-of-freedom control systems — Presents a computational (MATLAB) method to determine system parameters so the system will have desired transient characteristics.
· NEW—Improved chapter on the design of control systems in state space (Chapter 12)—Treats pole placement and observer design. The chapter includes quadratic optimal control. MATLAB is extensively used in the design problems using pole placement and observer design.
___
· In-depth treatment of topics.
· An accessible presentation—Avoids highly mathematical arguments.
· Over 100 examples.
· Over 200 chapter-end worked problems and 200 unsolved problems.
· An introduction to the two-degrees-of-freedom control system and design conditions on robust control.
· An example of a design of an online arm model-reference control system.
· Comprehensive coverage of root-locus analysis—Not found in other texts.
· Detailed coverage of frequency response of control systems.
This book comprehensively elaborates on the methods of analysis and design of control systems, providing a progressive development of control methods, demonstrating how to solve all MATLAB computational problems, and eliminating mathematical disputes. It includes numerous examples and solved problems. The original title is "Modern Control Engineering, 4th."
