Developing Problem-Solving Skills Through Integrated Design and Analysis

The purpose of Dorf’s Modern Control Systems, Thirteenth Edition is to present the structure of feedback control theory and to provide a sequence of exciting discoveries. The book demonstrates various real-world, global engineering problems while touching on evolving design strategies like green technology. Some of the themes at-hand include climate change, clean water, sustainability, waste management, emissions reduction, and minimizing energy. Throughout the text, the reader applies theory to the design and analysis of control systems.

The Thirteenth Edition continues to explore the role of and need for automated and precise control systems in green engineering. Key examples of green engineering, such as wind turbine control and the modeling of a photovoltaic generator to achieve maximum power delivery, are discussed in detail. The text is organized around the concept of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, it covers topics such as classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for learning controls
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
Excellent book for learning controls. I had zero controls knowledge before taking the course, but pretty comfortable with electronics/systems material. I also had the privilege to take the course with one of the authors. Well organized and the example problems, including the MatLab simulation problems, were a great help. I learn more by doing a couple examples than I would by reading more chapters and more books; so examples and practice problems are key for me and this book delivers that. This book doesn't get excessive with the verbiage and prepared me to address real world control system problems. Using the material from this book we were able to design with Root Locus and Bode for actual systems Dr Bishop gave us, not just randomly made up problems. Good resource to be introduced to controls, on a basic ground floor level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bought it For a Class

I was happy to receive the book for less than the bookstore (which was out of stock anyways) was asking, and in reasonable time.

I won't go into the fact that I found the material of the book of little use, because I doubt many people buy textbooks to actually learn from them, and my professor's teaching approach could very well have just have been poorly complimented by the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to learn from without additional resources
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
I found this book difficult to learn from. After learning the material from another book (Nise), the text from this book made sense. For me, the mathematics was too generalized to quickly pick up what it going on. Nise’s textbook does a much better job of reinforcing the mathematics with simple examples.
