Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories of automatic control. The book consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 introduces some basic concepts of automatic control, Chapter 2 introduces the mathematical description of continuous and discrete control systems, Chapter 3 introduces modeling methods based on system identification, Chapter 4 introduces stability analysis methods for control systems based on the time domain and frequency domain, Chapter 5 introduces the time-domain performance analysis of control systems, Chapter 6 introduces the compensation methods for continuous and discrete systems, Chapter 7 introduces the state-space analysis and synthesis of linear continuous and discrete control systems, and the last chapter introduces the analysis methods for nonlinear control systems, primarily describing function method and phase plane method.
The feature of this book lies in its non-traditional organization, which does not divide the content into classical control and modern control systems. Instead, it organizes the material according to the three tasks of control theory: system modeling, system analysis (mainly including dynamic and static performance analysis, stability analysis, and system structure analysis), and system synthesis and compensation.
This book serves as a textbook for undergraduate students in electrical and electronic engineering-related majors, as well as non-electrical-related disciplines. It is also suitable for professional engineers engaged in automatic control research and development for self-study and reference.
