Control Systems: Theory and Applications is designed to meet the requirements of undergraduate programs in electrical, instrumentation, electronics and communication, and other allied engineering disciplines. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of control system theory with an emphasis on its practical applications. It covers a range of topics from the conventional to the modern and from the non-linear to the basic digital control systems, along with an introduction on the applications of fuzzy logic in control systems. It also provides an exhaustive coverage on continuous-time and discrete-time systems and the time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of control systems. The user-friendly approach and rich pedagogy will help students to enhance their problem-solving skills and enable them to apply the theories to the design and analysis of control systems.
Salient Features New topics like servometers and signal flow graphs for networks and P/PI/PID controllers included Comprehensive coverage of a wide variety of control components such as accelerometers; cross-field machines; magnetic and electronic amplifiers; thermal, fluid, chemical and pneumatic systems; design of compensators; and Kalman's and Gilbert's tests A dedicated section on significant points for revision and recapitulation of concepts at the end of each chapter New sections on MATLAB programs at the end of chapters provided to ensure that the theoretical and practical aspects are linked Rigorous additional solved examples provided for more practice after every chapter Enhanced pedagogy: 442 solved questions 368 unsolved questions 326 figures and illustrations 500+ MCQs 45+ MATLAB programs
