Synopsis
Introduction to Feedback Control provides an easy to read and to understand monograph that describes control theory using minimal mathematics and focusing on simple rules, tools and methods for the analysis and testing of feedback control systems using real systems engineering design and development examples., In the current climate of increasing complexity and functional integration in all areas of engineering and technology, stability and control are becoming essential ingredients of engineering knowledge. Many of today s products contain multiple engineering technologies, and what were once simple mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic products now contain integrated electronics and sensors. Control theory reduces these widely varied technical components into their important dynamic characteristics, expressed as transfer functions, from which the subtleties of dynamic behaviours can be analyzed and understood. Stability and Control of Aircraft Systems is an easy-to-read and understand text that describes control theory using minimal mathematics. It focuses on simple rules, tools and methods for the analysis and testing of feedback control systems using real systems engineering design and development examples.  Clarifies the design and development of feedback control systems  Communicates the theory in an accessible manner that does not require the reader to have a strong mathematical background  Illustrated throughout with figures and tables Stability and Control of Aircraft Systems provides both the seasoned engineer and the graduate with the know-how necessary to minimize problems with fielded systems in the area of operational performance., In the current climate of increasing complexity and functional integration in all areas of engineering and technology, stability and control are becoming essential ingredients of engineering knowledge.

    Condition of the disc came in exceptional condition, almost as if it were brand new. Packaging was more than sufficient to make sure that the item wasn't damaged during shipping. Seller is very kind, checking to make sure we received delivery and were happy with what we had ordered. Overall wonderful experience. 5 out of 5, and 10 out of 10. Would order from this seller again 100%.
