Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories of automatic control. Its distinctive feature lies in breaking away from traditional arrangements, taking the three main tasks of control theory—system modeling, system analysis, and system synthesis and compensation—as the main thread to uniformly address classical and modern control, continuous-time and discrete-time systems, as well as frequency-domain and time-domain methods. The book includes abundant examples and exercises, making it suitable as a textbook for undergraduate students in electrical and information engineering disciplines and non-electrical related majors in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a self-study and reference material for professional engineers engaged in research and development of automatic control.
This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories of automatic control. The book consists of 8 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces some basic concepts of automatic control; Chapter 2 introduces various input-output models of control systems, including system motion equations, transfer functions, frequency response functions, block diagrams, and signal flow graphs; Chapter 3 introduces the state-space model of control systems and its relationship with input-output models; Chapter 4 introduces stability analysis methods of control systems based on time domain and frequency domain; Chapter 5 introduces the time-domain performance analysis of control systems; Chapter 6 introduces time-domain and frequency-domain compensation methods for control systems; Chapter 7 introduces state-space analysis and design of control systems; Chapter 8 introduces analysis methods for nonlinear control systems, primarily describing function method and phase plane method. The distinctive feature of this book lies in breaking away from traditional arrangements.
