Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems

Houghton Mifflin 1993; c

The authors include systems from at least two disciplines in some depth to illustrate the commonality of the modeling and analysis techniques, to encourage students to avoid compartmentalizing their knowledge and prepare them to work on projects as part of an interdisciplinary team. Linear models are developed in terms of state-variable equations, input-output differential equations and transfer functions. Emphasizes such concepts as damping ratios, time constants, poles and zeros, mode and frequency-response functions. This revision demonstrates how to apply specific computer packages to linear and nonlinear models. Contains nearly 200 examples and over 400 end-of-chapter problems.

The third edition of Modeling and Anaysis of Dynamic Systems continues to present students with the methodology applicable to the modeling and analysis of a variety of dynamic systems, regardless of their physical origin. It includes detailed modeling of mechanical, electrical, electro-mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems. Models are developed in the form of state-variable equations, input-output differential equations, transfer functions, and block diagrams. The Laplace transform is used for analytical solutions. Computer solutions are based on MATLAB and Simulink. Examples include both linear and nonlinear systems. An introduction is given to the modeling and design tools for feedback control systems. The text offers considerable flexibility in the selection of material for a specific course. Students majoring in many different engineering disciplines have used the text. Such courses are frequently followed by control-system design courses in the various disciplines.

Computers & Technology

This book is a supplement for any standard control systems text. It serves to reinforce the learning process for those who are studying introductory aspects of control systems. The authors accomplish this by teaching the use of MATLAB and its CONTROL SYSTEM TOOLBOX to rapidly solve a wide range of numerical problems. This book also provides the user with opportunities to apply techniques of linear system analysis, which forms the basis for the analysis and design of feedback control systems. This approach frees the user from the laborious calculations required to solve meaningful problems, thus allowing him or her to concentrate on interpreting the analysis and design results. Topical coverage includes both classical control design method and state-space models and design methods. Some specific topics covered are root-locus plots, frequency-response analysis, system performance, proportional-integral-derivative control, and frequency-response design. This updated printing revises the book and code examples (available for downloading from the Brooks/Cole Web site) to MATLAB V5.

Feedback Control Problems Using MATLAB and the Control System Toolbox (Bookware Companion Series)

Cengage Learning'

Using the power of MATLAB and its Control System Toolbox, this book is the ideal supplement for a digital control systems course. Students are able to use a digital computer to rapidly work a wide range of numerical problems and gain deeper insight in control design. The book is built around illustrative examples that demonstrate the steps involved in the analysis and design process. The examples are followed by a variety of problems that span the spectrum from follow-up what-if problems, to simple textbook-type reinforcement problems, to open-ended exploratory problems, and to realistic comprehensive problems. This book is part of the Bookware Companion Series.

Discrete-Time Control Problems Using MATLAB (Bookware Companion Series (Pacific Grove, Calif.).)

CL-Engineering

This short book contains a large number of MATLAB-based problems dealing with the topics covered in a first course on feedback control. The ways in which MATLAB can be used to solve these problems are illustrated by detailed examples that lead the reader through the analytical steps of the solution and in many cases give a script of MATLAB commands. A number of simplified models of real-world systems are presented and used in the problems and what- if variations. This book is intended to serve as a supplement to one of the many feedback control textbooks available.
