Advanced Modern Control System Theory and Design / Edition 1

by Stanley M. Shinners

Overview

Control theory is an important and very active area in all engineering fields. This book recognizes this fact and presents illustrations of control systems for advanced applications in the fields of electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, chemical, and nuclear engineering as well as other related fields. The title offers the most comprehensive treatment of advanced control systems currently available. Superbly organized and easy-to-use, this book is an excellent text for students and engineers who need to learn more about advanced control systems to perform their duties. Advanced Modern Control System Theory and Design presents a unified treatment of advanced control system design techniques, and illustrates how to apply the theory presented to realistic design problems. The title assumes the reader has previous knowledge of control systems. While this title is an ideal continuation of the lessons presented in Shinners' Modern Control System Theory and Design, the advanced book stands on its own.
