Control Systems Engineering, 3rd Edition

by Norman S. Nise

Motivate Students with Real-World Control Systems Emphasizing the practical application of control systems engineering, this 3rd edition with its updated contents will motivate students to learn how to analyze and design feedback control systems that support today's advanced technology. Motivation is obtained through clear and complete explanations of how to design real-world systems. Topics are presented in a logical and progressive way that builds and supports understanding. Whenever possible, new concepts are first presented from a qualitative perspective to help students gain the insight needed to develop sound designs. Next, a detailed discussion of quantitative tools gives readers the ability to design parameters and configurations for systems they will encounter during their career. And with the use of MATLAB(r), students will find out how to apply the latest computer methods to the analysis and design of control systems. Key Features of the Third Edition
* Case studies, using the same system progressively, are integrated throughout the text to provide students with a realistic view of each stage of the control system design process.
* A methodology with clearly defined steps is presented for each type of design problem.
* Numerous in-chapter examples and skill-assessment exercises, as well as end-of-chapter review questions and problems, including a progressive analysis and design problem that uses the same system, are provided.
* An introduction to state-space methods of analysis and design is included. These sections are clearly marked and can be taught along with classical methods, taught separately, or skipped without loss of continuity.
* Tutorials are provided on how to use MATLAB(r), the Control System Toolbox, Simulink(r), and the Symbolic Math Toolbox to analyze and design control systems. Also included are tutorials on how to use two MATLAB(r) graphical user interface (GUI) design and analysis tools - the LTI Viewer and the Root Locus Design GUI. All tutorials and MATLAB(r) code are contained in the text's appendices so as not to detract from the teaching of control systems engineering principles. References to these appendices are provided at appropriate places in the text.
* An accompanying CD-ROM provides valuable additional material, such as stand-alone computer applications, electronic files of the text's computer programs for use with MATLAB(r), additional appendices, and solutions to skill-assessment exercises.
* Illustrations from the book in the form of electronic files are available at

A really enjoyable book. I got mesmerised by the presentation of the author. Each chapter would start with a gentle introduction and then proceed on explaining the topics and finally give the reader where and how the theories learnt can be applied. The worked out examples are also good and gives the reader ample idea of solving problems and the book also offers a great collection of problems to solve. In a word this is a great book and after a long while I have come across such an elegant book in my coursework.

I used this book for my intro controls courses. It's pretty good and easy to understand for the most part. I think the explanations of PID control design and lead/lag compensators could have been a little better. I'm not sure if this should be covered in an introductory course, but this book does not cover LQR control, which I find somewhat disappointing.

This is a good book, except for the examples. The author skips many of the steps in his math, which makes the examples quite hard to follow.

The best book for the undergraduate students to study as a reference book for the course linear control systems. I regret that I didn't study this one when I had the chance.

I have read the whole book, the author explains everything precisely and in an organised manner. Two case studies go side by side and you also learn how to use MATLAB/simulink software for understanding and computations. Loved it as a Mechatronics & Control Engineer.

its a excellent book

I think the best way to introduce the reader to the control subject is by reading this book.However, It needs a good foundation in signals and systems, diff equations and linear algebra topics before you go for this one, this book gives you everything related to the classical control theory but you will still need another books for modern control theory (state-space) and digital control systems.

nice book i m reading it for my control engineering course.

i think its a very good site for me to read out a book online easily and to gathered my knowledge.

Aku pinjam buku ini dari AHMAD NOR KASRUDDIN yang sedang sambung PHD, aku rekod kat sini takut lupa, bolehlah jejak kat laman ini bila tuan dah balik kelak, ps: GOOD BOOK for learn about transient!
