Control Engineering Problems with Solutions 7 Preface Preface The purpose of this book is to provide both worked examples and additional problems, with answers only, which cover the contents of the two ‘Control Engineering: An introduction Bookboon books with the use of Matlab’ and ‘An Introduction to Nonlinearity in Control Systems’
control system is to identify what can be automated It will help if you have an understanding of basic hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical operating mechanisms, electronics, control sequences, etc and a solid knowledge of the operation or process that you are going to automate You should understand how to control motion and movement, regulate
Control theory is a relatively new field in engineering when compared with core topics, such as statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc Early examples of control systems were developed actually before the science was fully understood For example the fly?ball governor developed by James Watt to control
