This book is a revision and extension of the author's 1995
Sourcebook of Control Systems Engineering. Because of the
extensions and other modifications, it has been re-titled Handbook
of Control Systems Engineering, which it is intended to be for its
prime audience: advanced undergraduate students, beginning graduate
students, and practicing engineers needing an understandable review
of the field or recent developments which may prove useful. New in
This Edition. Two new chapters on aspects of nonlinear systems have
been incorporated. In the first of these, selected material for
nonlinear systems is concentrated on four aspects: showing the
value of certain linear controllers, arguing the suitability of
algebraic linearization, reviewing the semi-classical methods of
harmonic balance, and introducing the nonlinear change of variable
technique known as feedback linearization. In the second new
chapter, the topic of variable structure control, often with
sliding mode, is introduced. A third chapter introduces discrete
event systems, including several approaches to their analysis. The
chapters on robust control and intelligent control have been
extensively revised. Modest revisions and extensions have also been
made to other chapters, often to incorporate extensions to
nonlinear systems. Many references have been updated to more recent
books, although old standards are still cited. Also, some of the
advances in computer and communications technology are reflected.
The index has been revised and expanded. The structure of the book
is as in the first edition. Briefly, the aim is to present the
topics in a fairly modular manner with certain main groupings. The
first several chapters areconcerned with the hardware and software
of the control task as well as systems engineering associated with
the selection of appropriate components. The next chapters look at
the sources and representations of the mathematical models used in
the theory. A number of chapters then are concerned with standard
classical or transform domain material as is usually presented in a
first level university course, including stability theory, root
locus diagrams, and Bode plots. The next group of chapters concerns
the standard modern or state space material usually met in a second
level course. Included here are observers, pole placement, and
optimal control. Overlapping into usual graduate level courses are
the next several chapters on more advanced optimal control, Kalman
filtering, system identification, and standard adaptive control.
The final chapters introduce more advanced, research level
subjects. Here are selected topics in nonlinear control,
intelligent control, robust control, and discrete event systems.
The topics covered are intended to represent the mainstream of
control systems teaching. Examples are presented to illustrate the
computability of the theory presented. Handbook of Controls Systems
Engineering, Second Edition is suitable as a secondary text for
upper level undergraduate students, beginning graduate students,
and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
