Product Description
This supplement is meant for professors looking for ways to integrate more of the design process into their undergraduate controls course as well as improve their students' computer skills. In each chapter, a problem from the Modern Control Systems textbook has been changed into a design problem and various aspects of the design process are explored.
From the Back Cover
Modern Control Systems Using MATLAB & SIMULINK by Robert H. Bishop is a mid-edition supplement to the leading controls text on the market, Modern Control Systems, 7e by Dorf and Bishop (0-201-50174-0). Primarily a design process book, Bishop uses examples from the main text, converts them into design problems, and then leads students step-by-step through the entire design process. Different aspects of the design process are illustrated by worked examples in each chapter with all the intermediate steps explained in detail, from choosing and modeling components through to analysis and iteration. The author assumes readers are already familiar with MATLAB and SIMULINK and uses both programs throughout the supplement as a tool for teaching design process.
Features - provides an introduction to the control design process
- emphasizes tight link between theory and applications of control systems and design process
- uses MATLAB 4.2 throughout the text and SIMULINK 1.1 in chapters 5 and 11
