About the Book

Control Engineering is the field in which control theory is applied to design systems to produce desirable outputs. It essays the role of an incubator of emerging technologies. It has very broad applications ranging from automobiles, aircrafts to home appliances, process plants, etc. This subject gains importance due to its multidisciplinary nature, and thus establishes itself as a core course among all engineering curricula.
This textbook aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the principles of physical control system modeling, system design and analysis. Though the treatment of the subject is from a mechanical engineering point of view, this book covers the syllabus prescribed by various universities in India for aerospace, automobile, industrial, chemical, electrical and electronics engineering disciplines at undergraduate level.

About the Author

Dr K.P. Ramachandran, works as Associate Dean (Postgraduate Studies & Research), Caledonian College of Engineering, Sultanate of Oman - Muscat. He has been associated for more than 25 years in engineering institutions and worked as a consultant to many industries. His research interests include vibration measurement, analysis and control engineering, condition monitoring of rotating machines; and has supervised many Ph.D. students in this area. He has more than 80 international journals and conference publications to his credit and has authored 3 textbooks in the areas of Mechatronics and Control Engineering. He has been conferred Sir C.V. Raman award for the best technical paper published in the Journal of Vibration & Acoustics (1997). He is associated with professional bodies such as ASME, Asset Management Council (Australia), Indian Society of Technical Education and Institution of Plant Engineers.
