Features: This textbook is a revised version based on the book "Fundamentals of Control Engineering" by Dong Jingxin and Zhao Changde, incorporating recent developments in related fields. It primarily targets undergraduate students in mechanical engineering, instrumentation, and other non-control disciplines. It has been included in the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" National General Higher Education Project and the Beijing Higher Education Excellent Textbook Project. The main content includes: dynamic mathematical models of control systems, time-domain transient response analysis, root locus method, nonlinear problems in control systems, computer control systems, and the application of MATLAB software tools in control system analysis and synthesis. The textbook highlights mechanical motion as the primary control object, providing an introduction to its mathematical models and analysis and synthesis methods. It emphasizes the establishment of fundamental concepts and the clarification of basic methods for solving electromechanical control problems, while simplifying or omitting rigorous mathematical derivations that are distant from or overly complex for electromechanical engineering. Numerous examples and exercises have been introduced and written to facilitate self-study. The textbook incorporates relevant new technologies and analytical methods in electromechatronics, serving as a reference for professionals in related fields. Additionally, to complement the textbook, multimedia lecture CDs for "Fundamentals of Control Engineering" and CDs with solutions to basic exercises have been produced for use as needed.
