Product Description
Product Description
In this book, Tewari emphasizes the physical principles and engineering applications of modern control system design. Instead of detailing the mathematical theory, MATLAB examples are used throughout.
From the Author
The motivation for writing this book can be ascribed chiefly to the usual struggle of an average reader to understand and utilize controls concepts, without getting lost in the mathematics. An introductory text on modern control usually stops short of the really useful concepts - such as optimal control, and Kalman filters - while an advanced text, which covers these topics, assumes too much mathematical background of the reader. Furthermore, the examples and exercises contained in many control theory textbooks are too simple to represent modern control applications.This book aims at introducing the reader to the basic concepts and applications of modern control theory in an easy to read manner, while covering in detail what may be normally considered advanced topics, such as multivariable state-space design, solutions to time-varying and nonlinear state-equations, optimal control, Kalman filters, robust control, and digital control. An effort is made to explain the underlying principles behind many controls concepts. The numerical examples and exercises are chosen to represent practical problems in modern control. Perhaps the greatest distinguishing feature of this book is the ready and extensive use of MATLAB (with its Control Systems Toolbox) and SIMULINK , as practical computational tools to solve problems across the spectrum of modern control. In giving the reader a hands-on experience with the MATLAB/SIMULINK and the Control Systems Toolbox as applied to some practical design problems, the book is useful for a practicing engineer, apart from being an introductory text for the beginner.
