About The Book:

The book provides an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at undergraduate level or one course at postgraduate level. The stress is on the interdisciplinary nature of subject and examples have been drawn from various engineering disciplines to illustrate the basic system concepts. A strong emphasis is laid on modeling of practical systems involving hardware; control components of a wide variety are comprehensively covered. Time and frequency domain techniques of analysis and design of control systems have been exhaustively treated and their interrelationship established.Adequate breadth and depth is made available for second course. The coverage includes digital control systems: analysis, stability and classical design; state variables for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems; observers and pole-placement design; Liapunov stability; optimal control; and recent advances in control systems: adaptive control, fuzzy logic control, neural network control.Salient FeaturesState variables concept introduced in Chapter 2Examples and problems around obsolete technology updated and new examples addedRobotics modeling and control includedPID tuning procedure well explained and illustratedRobust control introduced in a simple and easily understood styleState variable formulation and design simplified and generalizations built on examplesDigital control; both classical and modern approaches, covered in depthA chapter on Adaptive, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network Control, amenable to undergraduate level use, includedChapter on Nonlinear Systems addedAn appendix in MATLAB with examples from time and frequency domain analysis and design, included.This edition is for sale in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan and Sri Lanka only.
