Features: This book primarily covers the fundamental concepts and basic knowledge of control engineering, as well as the application of MATLAB software in control system analysis and design. The content includes mathematical models of systems, time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, system stability, and system compensation design. While clearly explaining the basic principles and concepts, the book also incorporates the currently popular MATLAB software to demonstrate its application in mathematical modeling, time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, system stability, and system compensation design, thereby enhancing the practicality and modernity of the textbook. The book also emphasizes the application of control theory in mechanical engineering, combining appropriate mechanical system examples with practical mechanical engineering scenarios. Using control theory and MATLAB software, it analyzes and designs systems to lay a foundation for students to solve real-world control engineering problems in the future. The chapters are logically connected and highly systematic, with exercises and discussion questions provided for each chapter. Reference answers to some exercises are included at the end of the book. As one of the planned textbooks for higher education in mechatronics engineering, this book is suitable for undergraduate technical foundation courses in mechatronics, mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation, as well as for engineers and technicians working in control system design, MATLAB applications, and related fields.
