Computer-Aided Control System Design - MATLAB Language and Applications

Computer-Aided Control System Design - MATLAB Language and Applications systematically introduces MATLAB, the most popular computer-aided design language in the international control community. This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to computer-aided control system design through MATLAB programming fundamentals and techniques, mathematical problem solving using MATLAB, computer-aided analysis of linear systems, and Simulink modeling for control systems and other complex systems. The covered design methodologies include series controller design (using transfer function manipulation and bode plot analysis), state feedback controller design (utilizing pole placement algorithms), frequency domain design for multivariable systems (implementing Nyquist and singular value plots), PID controller design (with tuning techniques and optimization algorithms), optimal controller design (LQR/LQG methods), LQG/LTR controller design, H2/H∞ optimal control (using robust control toolbox functions), fractional-order control (implementing FOMCON toolbox capabilities), adaptive control (model reference adaptive systems), fuzzy logic control (Fuzzy Logic Toolbox applications), neural network control (Neural Network Toolbox implementations), and genetic algorithm optimization control (Global Optimization Toolbox usage). Additionally, the book provides source code CD contents for readers' reference and learning. Through systematic explanations and hands-on practice with the provided source code, readers can gain deeper understanding of computer-aided control system design principles and their practical implementations using MATLAB's control system toolbox, simulation environment, and specialized algorithm implementations.
