Overview
A comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of discrete-time control systems which provides a gradual development of the theory by emphasizing basic concepts and avoiding highly mathematical arguments. The book features comprehensive treatment of pole placement, state observer design, and quadratic optimal control.
FEATURES:
- In-depth discussions of selected topics (such as Z transform, and pole placement when the control signal was a vector quantity) have been moved to optional Appendices.
- discusses in detail the theoretical background for designing control systems.
- offers a greatly expanded treatment of the pole placement design with minimum-order observer by means of state space approach (Ch. 6) and polynomial equations approach (Ch. 7).
- features a new chapter on the polynomial equations approach to the control systems design — as an alternative to the design of control systems via pole placement with minimum-order observers. Includes the design of model matching control systems.
- emphasizes the usefulness of MATLAB for studying discrete-time control systems — showing how to use MATLAB optimally to obtain numerical solutions that involve various types of vector-matrix operations, plotting response curves, and system design based on quadratic optimal control.
- presents many instructive examples and worked-out problems throughout the entire book.
Synopsis
The new edition of this comprehensive digital controls book integrates MATLAB throughout the book. The book has also increased inflexibility and reader friendliness through the streamlining of coverage in Chapters 6 & 7 (controllability, pole placement and observability, and optimal control). The previous edition ISBN is: 0-13-216102-8.
Booknews
New edition of a text for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate level engineering students. Prerequisites are a course on introductory control systems, a course on ordinary differential equations, and familiarity with MATLAB computations (or MATLAB can be studied concurrently).
