Automatic Control Systems, 8Th Ed

This book is filled with real-world applications which integrate real-world analysis and design applications throughout the text. Examples include: the sun-seeker system, the liquid-level control, dc-motor control, and space-vehicle payload control. It also includes illustrative examples and problems. · introduction · mathematical foundation · block diagrams and signal-flow graphs · modeling of physical systems · state variable analysis · stability of linear control systems · time-domain analysis of control systems · root-locus technique · frequency-domain analysis · design of control systems · the virtual lab
