The book is a comprehensive textbook on control systems engineering. Summary Of The Book The book provides comprehensive coverage of various issues under control systems engineering. The book is suitable for courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level of engineering. Since the subject matter is inter-disciplinary, examples in the book are based on different branches of engineering. The book discusses a wide range of topics including Mathematical Models of Physical Systems, Control Systems and Components, Concepts of Stability and Algebraic Criteria, Root Locus Technique, Frequency Response Analysis, Liapunov’s Stability Analysis, Optimal Control Systems, and Advances in Control Systems. In this revised edition, the book includes a host of new topics such as Neural Network Control, Nonlinear Systems, and Robotics Modeling and Control. In depth coverage has been given to classical and modern approaches on Digital Control. Explanations on PID tuning procedure and Robust Control have been improved and are accompanied by illustrations where necessary. Care has been taken to remove examples based on outdated technologies and to update the same with more relevant cases. About The Authors I. J.
