Features: This book provides a comprehensive explanation of classical control theory, including the mathematical description and performance indicators of single-variable linear control systems, time-domain analysis, root locus methods, and frequency response methods. It also covers system design and compensation, as well as the time delay characteristics of control objects and design methods for time-delay systems. Additionally, it systematically introduces the analysis methods for nonlinear systems, such as the describing function method, phase plane method, linearization of nonlinear systems, and experimental modeling methods based on this theory. When explaining theories and methods, the book places special emphasis on fundamental concepts in control theory, such as feedback, dynamics, stability, and nonlinear linearization. The book focuses on practical knowledge of control systems, such as the dynamic characteristics of control objects and simplified treatment methods commonly used in engineering, as well as time-delay system design. The book is accompanied by numerous exercises and examples to help readers deeply understand and apply the basic theories. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate students in automatic control and related fields at higher education institutions, as well as a reference book for scientists and engineers seeking to advance their knowledge of control theory.
