| Modern Control Systems (11th Edition) (Pie) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this book is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers. The book covers several important topics including robust control systems and system sensitivity, state variable models, controllability and observability, computer control systems, internal model control, robust PID controllers, and computer-aided design and analysis. For all types of engineers who are interested in a solid introduction to control systems.

This book is not very helpful to an engineering undergraduate student. I could see how it would be useful, to some degree to a graduate student. THe examples are few and not well explained. Some examples are explained on one page and diagrammed on the next. THe problems are plentiful, but solutions are not easy to come by. The book would benefit by having more worked out problems and less end of chapter problems. I would not recommend this book. Look for something else, unless you have a firm grasp of control engineering before using it.

This book covers a lot of ground and does a so-so job explaining the topics. Plenty of reference tables and examples though.

This book is one of the worst I've had in Engineering school. The explanations are weak, only going over the simplest version of a concept. Just wait until your professor actually assigns problems from the book. The problems are difficult and complex, and there are zero answers in the back to verify your answers. So, you have no clue if you're doing it right. If your professor is not very helpful, you're in trouble.

Taking control theory course at my school where the book is required. As a student introduced to the theory for the first time, this book has been no help at all. Explanations are very limited and I find myself re-reading the same page numerous times just to figure out how did the author came up with derivations. Text is often too dry without any real world connection (essential for engineering students - at least for me). If this text is required, prepare to spend a lot of time with your professor. This is NOT a good book for intro course.
