An Essential Guide to Control Engineering Fundamentals
Understand the day-to-day procedures of today's control engineer with the pragmatic insights and techniques contained in this unique resource. Written in clear, concise language, Practical Control Engineering shows, step-by-step, how engineers simulate real-world phenomena using dynamic models and algorithms. Learn how to handle single and multiple-staged systems, implement error-free feedback control, eliminate anomalies, and work in the frequency and discrete-time domains. Extensive appendices cover basic calculus, differential equations, vector math, Laplace and Z-transforms, and Matlab basics. Practical Control Engineering explains how to:
Gain insight into control engineering and process analysis
Write and debug algorithms that simulate physical processes
Understand feedback, feedforward, open loops, and cascade controls
Build behavioral models using basic applied mathematics
Analyze lumped, underdamped, and distributed processes
Comprehend matrix, vector, and state estimation concepts
Convert from continuous to discrete-time and frequency domains
Filter out white noise, colored noise, and stochaic disturbances
