Title overview

Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems offers you feedback control fundamentals with context, case studies and a focus on design. It covers the material that every engineer needs to know about feedback control, including concepts like stability, tracking, and robustness. Each chapter presents comprehensive, worked-out examples, all within a real-world context and with historical background. Rather than focusing on analysis first and incorporating design much later, this text focuses on design early on and supports students equally in their need to grasp both traditional and more modern topics of digital control.

An entire chapter is devoted to comprehensive case studies; the 8th Edition has been revised with up-to-date information, along with brand-new sections, problems and examples.
