Features: The first, second, and third editions of this book were awarded the Second Prize of National Excellent Teaching Achievement and the First Prize of National Excellent Teaching Materials for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Majors in Higher Education; the fourth edition was included in the National 21st Century Curriculum Materials and the National "Nineth Five-Year Plan" Key Teaching Materials; this edition was designated as the "National Key Teaching Materials for 'Fifteenth Five-Year Plan' in Higher Education." The book covers fundamental concepts in control engineering, mathematical models of systems, time response analysis, frequency response analysis, system stability, performance analysis and control, nonlinear systems, linear discrete systems, and system identification. Except for Chapter [1], each chapter includes examples of problem-solving using MATLAB. The book aims to clarify the basic concepts of control engineering while integrating more practical applications in mechanical engineering to help readers understand and apply control theory to solve real-world mechanical engineering problems. This book is suitable for undergraduate, adult education, correspondence, and evening students majoring in mechanical engineering, especially in mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation. It can also serve as a reference for relevant teachers and engineering professionals. Accompanying this book is the "Study Guide and Solutions for Fundamentals of Control Engineering in Mechanical Engineering," which summarizes the basic requirements, key points, and difficulties of learning the book, expands examples, and provides solutions to all exercises in the book. It can be used as a teaching reference for teachers and as a study guide for students. The book also includes a CD-ROM containing: the teaching syllabus for this course, electronic teaching materials, self-assessment exercises, simulation experiments, and other materials, including examples of problem-solving in MATLAB, for reference by readers.
