Automatic Control Systems, 9th Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, July 2009, Pages: 800
Automatic Control Systems provides engineers with a fresh new controls book that places special emphasis on mechatronics. It follows a revolutionary approach by actually including a physical lab. In addition, readers will find authoritative coverage of modern design tools and examples. Current mechatronics applications build motivation to learn the material. Extensive use of virtual lab software is also integrated throughout the chapters. Engineers will gain a strong understand of control systems with the help of modern examples and exercises.
This thoroughly revised new edition is an outgrowth of senior-level control-system courses taught by the authors at their universities throughout their teaching career. Adopted by hundreds of universities in the United States and around the world, Automatic Control Systems represents the best of Kuo's work combined with additional new material by Farid Golnaraghi to create this exciting revision
New to this edition:
- Upgraded ACSYS software– the unique graphical interface of ACSYS enables students to apply MATLAB to control problems more intuitively. This means they spend less time programming and more time applying concepts and evaluating results.
- SIMLab and Virtual Lab applications – enable students to work on realistic problems and conduct speed and position control labs in a software environment.
- SIMLab enables students to see system parameters and alter them (as in any simulation). This lets them observe concepts in action and practice with “what-if” scenarios of their own.
- Virtual Lab introduces a black-box approach, where the students have no access to the plant parameters and have to use some sort of system identification technique to find them. In Virtual Lab, students have a realistic experience of the types of problems they would encounter in a real speed- or position-control lab, for example, amplifier saturation, noise, and nonlinearity.
- Additional MATLAB toolboxes and case studies in almost every chapter
- A sample section-by-section one-semester syllabus is given in the Instructor’s Manual on the Instructors BCS. The manual also contains detailed solutions to all the problems in the book.
Features:
- Balance of applications to both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (Golnaraghi is a mechanical engineer; most competing authors are in Electrical or Aerospace engineering).
- Emphasizes complex, real-world control problems (ABET criteria A and E)
- Matlab tools and case studies provide practical experience with the modern engineering tools required in ABET criterion (k)
- Balanced presentation of principles and applications give students a firm conceptual grounding and robust virtual lab experiences, independent of the hardware and software resources of their university labs
