Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems - Fifth Edition Gene Franklin, J. David Powell, Abbas Emami-Naeini, Prentice-Hall, 2006, ISBN: 0-13-149930-0, 912 pp. Featuring a brand new chapter on nonlinear systems, this revision of the best-selling textbook on feedback control has been recognized for even greater instructor flexibility and student readability. Design is emphasized throughout as well as analysis techniques to provide motivation for the study of control. The authors include many carefully worked-out examples to illustrate the material, as well as review questions to assist students in verifying that they have learned the material. The use of MATLAB is introduced early in recognition of the universal use of software tools in control analysis and design. Strong student pedagogic elements in this edition include bulleted chapter summaries, marginal notes, and chapter openers that offer perspective and an overview of the material to be presented. Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems - Fourth Edition Gene Franklin, J. David Powell, Abbas Emami-Naeini, Prentice-Hall, 2002, ISBN: 0-13-032393-4, 912 pp. In its fourth edition, Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems retains its balanced coverage of modern and classical topics, the early incorporation of design aspects, and its discussion of analysis techniques; all hallmark features that established it as the authoritative controls text. Due to instructor demand, the third edition now contains expanded coverage of dynamics modeling and Laplace transform topics. Iterative Adaptive Control: Windsurfing with Confidence R. L.
