Modern Control Engineering

Modern Control Engineering by Katsuhiko Ogata This book introduces important concepts in the analysis and design of control systems.Readers will find it to be a clear and understandable textbook for control system courses at colleges and universities.It is written for senior electrical, mechanical, aerospace,or chemical engineering students.The reader is expected to have fulfilled the following prerequisites: introductory courses on differential equations, Laplace transforms, vector-matrix analysis, circuit analysis, mechanics, and introductory thermodynamics.The main revisions made in this edition are as follows: 1)-The use of MATLAB for obtaining responses of control systems to various inputs has been increased. 2)-The usefulness of the computational optimization approach with MATLAB has been demonstrated.3)-New example problems have been added throughout the book.4)-Materials in the previous edition that are of secondary importance have been deleted in order to provide space for more important subjects. Signal flow graphs were dropped from the book. A chapter on Laplace transform was deleted. Instead, Laplace transform tables, and partial-fraction expansion with MATLAB are presented in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectiv

The book has been arranged toward facilitating the student’s gradual understanding of control theory. Highly mathematical arguments are carefully avoided in the presen-tation of the materials. Statement proofs are provided whenever they contribute to the understanding of the subject matter presented. Special effort has been made to provide example problems at strategic points so that the reader will have a clear understanding of the subject matter discussed. In addition, a number of solved problems (A-problems) are provided at the end of each chapter, except Chapter 1. The reader is encouraged to study all such solved problems carefully; this will allow the reader to obtain a deeper understanding of the topics discussed. In addition, many problems (without solutions) are provided at the end of each chapter, except Chapter 1. The unsolved problems (B-problems) may be used as homework or quiz problems.If this book is used as a text for a semester course (with 56 or so lecture hours), a good portion of the material may be covered by skipping certain subjects. Because of the abundance of example problems and solved problems (A-problems) that might answer many possible questions that the reader might have, this book can also serve as a self-study book for practicing engineers who wish to study basic control theories.
