Features: This book comprehensively elaborates on classical control theory, including the mathematical description and performance indicators of single-variable linear time-invariant systems, time-domain analysis, root locus methods, and frequency response methods. It also covers the design and compensation of control systems, 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, systematic nonlinearization, 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. It is equipped with numerous exercises and examples to help readers deeply understand and apply basic theories. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in automatic control and related fields at universities, as well as a reference book for scientists, engineers, and technicians seeking to advance their knowledge of control theory.
