Synopsis

This tutorial provides a variety of simulation algorithms for the design and control of dynamic systems. It explains the accuracy and stability of automatic control theory, emphasizing those systems described by stiff non-linear differential equations. The text features stability region plots; considers problems of real-time simulation; and present algorithms written in C with an emphasis on the simualtion aspects of numerical integration.

About this title

From the Publisher

In designing control systems, engineers rely on simulations to help them derive the final outcome -- and although some simulation software packages exist, for the most part engineers working on complex high-order nonlinear systems, systems with peculiar characteristics, and real-time systems, must derive their own simulations. Applied in perspective and tutorial in approach, this innovative volume provides a variety of simulation algorithms for the design and evaluation of dynamic control systems. Explains the accuracy and stability properties of digital simulation from the perspective of automatic control theory -- in terms familiar to engineers in many disciplines; emphasizes systems described by stiff nonlinear differential equations; features a large number of stability region plots; considers problems of real-time simulation; and presents algorithms written in C -- with an emphasis on the simulation aspects of numerical integration.
