Features: This book is based on the 1995 edition of "Automatic Control Theory" edited by Professor Jin Weigang, summarizing years of teaching experience and compiled according to the teaching syllabus for "Automatic Control Theory" formulated in 1999. The book is divided into three main parts: fundamental knowledge of classical control theory, control theory experiments, and computer-aided analysis and design of control systems. The purpose of writing this book is to:
- Convey concise content while highlighting key points;
- Focus on a clear and progressive approach that aligns with teaching principles;
- Emphasize inspiration and ease of self-study;
- Strengthen physical concepts and bridge theory with practical applications.
Through these methods, readers will understand the physical significance of analyzing control system performance. Additionally, the book includes content on computer-aided analysis and design of control systems, enabling students to master an efficient tool while reducing tedious calculations. This allows readers to focus on core issues, deepen their understanding of control theory, grasp various analytical methods, and apply them to solve practical engineering problems.
The book is divided into ten chapters:
- Chapters 1 to 6 primarily cover linear control theory, as well as time-domain, root locus, and frequency-domain analysis methods for analyzing and designing control systems;
- Chapter 7 briefly introduces analysis methods for nonlinear control systems;
- Chapter 8 discusses analysis methods for discrete control systems;
- Chapter 9 provides guidance for four typical experiments;
- Chapter 10 offers guidance on using MATLAB as a computational simulation tool for system-aided analysis and design.
This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in control-related majors in engineering colleges, as well as a reference for faculty and engineering technicians engaged in automation.
