About Feedback Control Systems Demystified: Volume 1

NEW Updated Version 1.1Revised auto-adjust equations and figures that display perfectly in the Kindle Fire HDX8.9, HDX, HD, Kindle apps for iPad and Android Tablets, and more.A new generation digital bookContains interactive labs, video tutorials, audio slideshow summaries and workbooks. The book differs greatly from ordinary textbooks on feedback control systems. You learn control system engineering mathematics not by just reading text and studying equations and graphs, you learn by interacting with open-loop and closed-loop dynamic system simulators. You learn how to set gains for proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controllers using computer enhanced root locus plotters. Seventeen simulators are used in a virtual laboratory setting with lab instructions followed by discussions. The instructional material follows a carefully designed step-by-step teaching method with plenty of details so you can't get lost in the math. This is not one of those outline or dummy books, this is a real textbook that utilizes innovative teaching methods.Step-by-step teaching methodThe book begins with detailed mathematical descriptions of electrical, mechanical, fluid, and thermal physical elements. You learn how to combine two of these elements to represent real-life systems that can be modeled using first-order linear differential equations. Interactive simulators let you learn how to solve these math models and produce graphs of system variables as a function of time. Interactive practice workbooks are provided which contain worked problem solutions.The book continues the step-by-step method by showing you how to model more complex physical systems by combining two energy storage elements to create a math model that can be described by a second-order linear differential equations. Interactive simulators let you learn how to solve these models and produce plots of system variables as a function of time. Interactive workbooks
