Modern Control Engineering 5th Edition by Katsuhiko Ogata

Modern Control Engineering 5th Edition by Katsuhiko Ogata offers comprehensive coverage of control engineering, including frequency response approach, root-locus approach, and state-space approach to analysis and design of control systems. The text provides a gradual development of control theory, shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB, and avoids highly mathematical arguments. A wealth of examples and worked problems are featured throughout the text.

Laplace transform; mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, electrical systems, fluid systems, and thermal systems; transient and steady-state-response analyses, root-locus analysis and control systems design by the root-locus method; frequency-response analysis and control systems design by the frequency-response; two-degrees-of-freedom control; state space analysis of control systems and design of control systems in state space. he new edition includes improved coverage of Root-Locus Analysis (Chapter 6) and Frequency-Response Analysis (Chapter 8). The author has also updated and revised many of the worked examples and end-of-chapter problems.

New To This Edition

- The use of MATLAB is expanded to many control systems analysis and design problems (See Section 8-4). Computational optimization approach with MATLAB is emphasized throughout the text.
- Over 150 chapter-end worked problems and 180 unsolved problems help students fully understand the text material. Many of the solved problems are new.
- New introductory discussion of robust control theory explains robust control systems.
- Several chapters are combined to create a more streamlined approach. There are 10 chapters now instead of 12.
- Improved chapter on the design of control systems in state space (Chapter 10) — Treats pole placement and observer design. Chapter includes quadratic optimal control. MATLAB is extensively used in the design problems using pole placement and observer design.
- Significantly revised chapters include:
— Chapter 6 — Control Systems Analysis and Design by the Root-Locus Method
— Chapter 7 — Control Systems Analysis and Design by the Frequency Response Method
— Chapter 8 — PID Controllers and Modified PID Controllers — Chapter 8 first discusses PID control in general and then presents two-degrees-of-freedom control systems. MATLAB methods determine system parameters so the system will have the desired transient characteristics.
— Laplace Transform tables and partial fraction expansion with MATLAB are presented in Appendix A and B.
— Short summary of vector matrix analysis is presented in Appendix C. This Appendix will be useful in obtaining the inverses of n x n matrices that may be involved in the analysis and design of control systems.
