Modern Control Systems
by Richard C. Dorf
On This Page
Description
Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this book is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state show more observers.The book covers several important topics including robust control systems and system sensitivity, state variable models, controllability and observability, computer control systems, internal model control, robust PID controllers, and computer-aided design and analysis.For all types of engineers who are interested in a solid introduction to control systems. show lessTags

I haven't read through all of this book, but from what I saw in the first two chapters, it didn't seem like a very clear or concise treatment of the subject matter. Reviews on Amazon seem to back me up. It seems like it's just one of those textbooks that survives on being required for certain classes and releasing new editions every couple of years (which just makes it more bloated).
I would consider replacing it with a better book covering control systems, but right now I don't have a recommendation. I'll add one to the wishlist if I find something I like.
