Publisher's Synopsis
Automatic Control Systems Seventh Edition Benjamin C. Kuo Updated to reflect the increasing use of computer–aided learning and design, the seventh edition of Automatic Control Systems features a new, accessible approach for students taking introductory courses on control systems while retaining the depth and rigor of Benjamin Kuo’s classic, best–selling text. This new edition integrates several real world applications throughout the text, covering both analysis and design. Other new features include:
- demonstration of the solution of complex problems with the aid of computer software
- thorough discussion of steady–state error analysis, including nonunity–feedback systems
- discussion of circuit realization of controller transfer functions
- simplified treatment of Nyquist criterion on systems with nonminimum–phase transfer functions
- discussion of time–domain and frequency–domain designs side by side in one chapter
- added chapter on design of discrete–data control systems
