Book Description

0132273071 978-0132273077 August 26, 1996 3 Sub
This comprehensive treatment of the continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory - and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout. This edition reorganizes content to cover all basic materials of control systems in the first ten chapters, leaving advanced topics to the last. It provides detailed explanations on how to write MATLAB programs to solve a variety of problems in control engineering, expands coverage of the design aspects of control engineering with many new design problems; adds an introduction to robust control; and includes many new computational problems - all solved with MATLAB.

From the Publisher

This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory -- and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout.

From the Back Cover

FEATURES:

Emphasizes the basic concepts and the design aspects of control systems. Avoids highly mathematical arguments but provides mathematical proofs whenever they contribute to an understanding of the material. Includes examples at strategic points throughout (over 100 total). Contains numerous worked problems (A-problems) at the end of each chapter (over 200 total), and 200 unsolved problem (B-problems). Provides introductory discussion on the two-degrees-of-freedom control system, and introduces design conditions on robust control. Presents an example of a design of a nonlinear model- reference control system. First formulates conditions for Liapunov stability; then designs the system within these limitations.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

NEW—Reorganizes content to cover all basic materials of control systems in the first 10 chapters, leaving advanced topics (such as state-space analysis and design of control systems) to the last 3. NEW—Gives detailed explanations of how to write MATLAB programs to solve a variety of problems in control engineering. Includes MATLAB approaches to: Obtain step response, ramp response, and impulse response of control systems. Plotting root loci, Bode diagrams, and Nyquist diagrams. Solving (both analytically and computationally) pole-placement problems, observer design problems, and quadratic optimal control problems. NEW—Expands coverage of the design aspects of control engineering — with many new design problems. NEW—Adds an introduction to robust control (Ch.10). NEW—Adds many new computational problems — all solved with MATLAB.

5.0 out of 5 stars Formulas done right, January 13, 2004
This review is from: Modern Control Engineering (Hardcover)
This book is very good. I really like the way the formulas are given, with all the variables immediatelly defined. When reading it was amazing. As the questions arose in my mind as to what something meant, the next sentence or two satisfied my curiosity.
While other books tend claim that a piece of information is "beyond the scope of this text" (yet then expect knowledge of the topic), Ogota takes a couple of extra paragraphs to explain the basics of what is needed for better understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Feedback Analysis & Design, July 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Control Engineering (Hardcover)
I used this book for two semesters. The only downside is that this book is too thick, but the new edition looks better. I found the MATLAB program(s) very useful, in addition to a bunch of solved sample problems at the end of each Chapter. I have been told that the latest edition has information on Signal Flow Graphs (Mason's Rule), which is very critical if you are analysing the topic of Controls from an Electrical Engineer's point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books in control theory, August 19, 2000
This review is from: Modern Control Engineering (Hardcover)
The most comprehensive textbook in control theory.very well explained and each chapter has at least a dozen of solved excersices. MATLAB is being used extensively to learn control applications.It can be used also as an introduction to advanced control. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
