Using a step-by-step approach, this textbook provides a modern treatment of the fundamental concepts, analytical techniques, and software tools used to perform multi-domain modeling, system analysis and simulation, linear control system design and implementation, and advanced control engineering. Chapters follow a progressive structure, which builds from modeling fundamentals to analysis and advanced control while showing the interconnections between topics, and solved problems and examples are included throughout. Students can easily recall key topics and test understanding using Review Note and Concept Quiz boxes, and over 200 end-of-chapter homework exercises with accompanying Concept Keys are included. Focusing on practical understanding, students will gain hands-on experience of many modern MATLAB® tools, including Simulink® and physical modeling in Simscape™. With a solutions manual, MATLAB® code, and Simulink®/Simscape™ files available online, this is ideal for senior undergraduates taking courses on modeling, analysis and control of dynamic systems, as well as graduates studying control engineering.

  • Follows a progressive, easy-to-follow approach, guiding students from modeling fundamentals through to analysis and advanced control while highlighting the links between topics
  • Uses a four-part structure that introduces classical control prior to matrix-based control methods
  • Presents solved problems and examples in detail, without skipping steps
  • Includes Review Note boxes for easy recall of key topics and Concept Quiz boxes to reinforce fundamental understanding
  • Includes over 200 end-of-chapter homework exercises, with accompanying Concept Keys to enable quick selection of exercises for instructors
  • Accompanied online by a solutions manual, MATLAB® code, Simulink®/Simscape™ files, and supplementary text

Reviews & endorsements

'Lucid and easy to read. It methodically explains classic control theory, from modeling of multi-domain systems to digital control. The detailed examples and end-of-chapter problems make it an excellent choice as a textbook for students in different engineering and science disciplines. MATLAB® and Simulink® instructions are a big plus.' Pezhman Hassanpour, California State Polytechnic University

'Dynamic Systems and Control Engineering by Jalili and Candelino is one of the most organized and easily understood basic texts in this area. They have taken what is a nebulous subject for many students and made it less daunting through their use of numerous examples across several disciplines. The text is laid out well, logical from the basic systems modeling, to their analyses, and their control. They have taken a progressive approach to build on previous knowledge as the topics become more advanced. Their straightforward mathematical models are reinforced through MATLAB® and Simulink®, with basic user guides for the software. This allows the student to learn about controls by doing controls.' Robert Rabb, Penn State University

'I have enjoyed reading this book very much for several reasons. This is the most complete text on dynamic systems and automatic control, with a rich set of examples and deep analytic treatment, along with an application viewpoint. The authors have rich experience in research and teaching in dynamic systems and control engineering in several world-class universities worldwide.' Reza N. Jazar, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University
