Automatic Control Systems

Automatic Control Systems Seventh Edition Benjamin C. Kuo Updated to reflect the increasing use of computer-aided learning and design, the seventh edition of Automatic Control Systems features a new, accessible approach for students taking introductory courses on control systems while retaining the depth and rigor of Benjamin Kuo's classic, best-selling text. This new edition integrates several real world applications throughout the text, covering both analysis and design. Other new features include: demonstration of the solution of complex problems with the aid of computer software thorough discussion of steady-state error analysis, including nonunity-feedback systems discussion of circuit realization of controller transfer functions simplified treatment of Nyquist criterion on systems with nonminimum-phase transfer functions discussion of time-domain and frequency-domain designs side by side in one chapter added chapter on design of discrete-data control systems The text also includes an abundance of illustrative examples, problems, and marginal notes to highlight important points and comments.
Contents include full chapters on: mathematical foundation transfer functions, block diagrams, and signal-flow graphs mathematical modeling of physical systems state-variable analysis stability of linear control systems time-domain analysis of control systems root-locus techniques frequency-domain analysis design of control systems design of discrete-data control systems
