Computer-Aided Control Systems Design: Practical Applications Using MATLAB® and Simulink®

This step-by-step guide emphasizes applying control fundamentals to practical industry systems such as the ALSTOM gasifier system in power stations and underwater robotic vehicles in the marine industry. It also shows how powerful software such as MATLAB^(R) and Simulink^(R) can aid in control systems design. The text begins with the basic principles of applied control engineering and then covers the dynamic modeling, control structure design, controller design, implementation, and testing of control systems. It prepares you to deal more confidently with practical control problems in industry.
