Features: This book was first published in 1988, and this revised edition has been comprehensively updated based on the development of the discipline and teaching practices. It systematically introduces the basic content of automatic control theory, emphasizing fundamental concepts, theories, and analysis methods. The book consists of nine chapters:
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 introduce the basic knowledge related to control theory and commonly used basic components in control systems;
Chapters 3 to 6 introduce time-domain methods, root locus methods, and frequency-domain methods for analyzing and designing linear control systems;
Chapter 7 introduces the description function method and phase plane method for analyzing nonlinear systems;
Chapter 8 discusses sampled control systems;
Chapter 9 briefly introduces the basic content of modern control theory.
Each chapter includes examples and exercises, with some reference answers or hints provided.
The primary audience for this book is undergraduate students in non-automatic control-related majors of higher industrial colleges, as well as undergraduate and vocational students in automatic control-related majors. It is also suitable for engineering technicians who need to study and understand the basic theory of automatic control for self-study and reference.
