Using a "how to do it" approach with a strong emphasis on real-world design, this book provides comprehensive, single-source coverage of the full spectrum of control system design. Each of the book's 8 parts covers a specific area of control--ranging from signals and systems (Bode Diagrams, Root Locus, etc.), to SISO control (including PID and Fundamental Design Trade-offs) and MIMO systems (including Constraints, MPC, Decoupling, etc.). Features an abundance of real-world design examples drawn from the authors' direct experience, and many real-world case studies divided into Industrial case studies and Laboratory systems (several of which are supported by a virtual laboratory using Java Applets on the book's web page). All examples are supported by Matlab®. The Excitement of Control Engineering. Introduction to the Principles of Feedback. Modeling. Continuous Time Signals and Systems. Analysis of SISO Control Loops. Classical PID Control. Synthesis of SISO Controllers. Fundamental Limitations in SISO Control. Frequency Domain Design Limitations. Architectural Issues in SISO Control. Dealing with Constraints. Models for Sampled Data Systems. Digital Control. Hybrid Control. SISO Controller Parameterizations. Control Design Based on Optimization. Linear State Space Models. Synthesis via State Space Methods. Introduction to Nonlinear Control. Analysis of MIMO Control Loops. Exploiting SISO Techniques in MIMO Control. Design via Optimal Control Techniques. Model Predictive Control. Fundamental Limitations in MIMO Control. MIMO Controller Parameterizations. Decoupling. For anyone interested in Control System Design.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Much has been written about the need to revitalize control education. This book addresses the problem by providing a refreshing new approach to teaching control system design. The book strongly emphasizes real-world design, making it appropriate for the first-time learner as well as for engineers in industry as a technology refresher. The book has been used by the authors for both undergraduate and graduate courses at several universities. The authors' experience is split evenly between academia and industry, which is reflected in the contents of the book. It is divided into 8 parts covering essential aspects in control, ranging from signals and systems (Bode diagrams, root locus, etc.), to SISO control (including PID and fundamental design tradeoffs), and MIMO systems (including constraints, MPC, decoupling, etc.).
A key aspect of the book is the frequent use of real world design examples drawn directly from the authors' industrial experience. These are represented by over 15 substantial case studies ranging from distillation columns to satellite tracking. The book is also liberally supported by modern teaching aids available on both an accompanying CD-ROM and Companion Website. Resources to be found there include MATLAB® routines for all examples; extensive PowerPoint lecture notes based on the book; and a totally unique Java Applet-driven "virtual laboratory" that allows readers to interact with the real-world case studies.

Good intro,

This review is from: Control System Design (Paperback)
This was a required textbook for a intro grad controls class at Purdue and I felt it was an excellent text book. They give you enough info on the background stuff that if you want you can find other books that will go into more detail. It was very enjoyable read and I will definitely keep this book as reference.

This review is from: Control System Design (Paperback)
I bought this book for a Post grad Controls course. The book arrived quickly and was in reasonably good condition as indicated by the 'shelf wear' description. However, the book is very cryptic, there are very few well worked out examples. It assumes you know and remember all the background classic controls theory which was not my case. I think the Ogata is a better transition book.

This review is from: Control System Design (Paperback)
I think that all control texts should be written this way. This text gives a very thorough explanation of SISO control and then very slowly transitions into MIMO control by introducing decentralized control. After decentralized control, cross-feed and more advanced MIMO techniques based on inverse dynamics are introduced. This text also covers fundamental limitations of control, which is important. There is also a lot of internet support and MATLAB examples.
This text does a very good job of presenting mathematical topics which are not covered in many control texts in a palatable way. In some places, one might get lost or overwhelmed with the math, but stick with it and things will become clear. The math in this text is quite accurate and does not overemphasize or misrepresent the singular value unlike many other "advanced" controls texts.
