Editorial Review:
What every engineer needs to know about feedback control. Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems, 6/e covers the material that every engineer, and most scientists and prospective managers, needs to know about feedback control, including concepts like stability, tracking, and robustness. Each chapter presents the fundamentals along with worked-out examples, all within a real-world context and with a historical background. The text also ties methods together so that a designer is able to pick the method that best fits the problem at hand. Cases featuring actual control problems are included. The new edition has been updated to include the latest developments in the field.
An Overview and Brief History of Feedback Control; Dynamic Models; Dynamic Response; Basic Properties of Feedback; The Root-Locus Design Method; The Frequency-Response Design Method; State-Space Design; Digital Control; Nonlinear Systems; Control-System Design: Principles and Case Studies.
MARKET: Perfect for practicing control engineers who wish to maintain their skills.
Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems (6th Edition) Reviews:
Bad book 
2009-11-19 - After going through the first three chapters of basic analysis of dynamic systems, I felt the book was great and even explained things better than my dynamic systems class, but when the book begins to explain Control theory, PID controllers, root locus, and everything from chapter 4 and then on, it is complete crap. It skips way too many steps, shows the reader concepts through examples which is not a good thing when you have no idea what is going on. It does a horrible job at explaining the math behind it and obscures basic rules for everything. If you do not know control theory already, this book is horrible at teaching it. The Schaum's Outline explains things 10 times as better than this book. It actually proves things that this book doesn't believe it should prove. Worst book I have had to deal with.
Exactly what I was expecting! 
2009-09-12 - The book was in great condition! It was exactly what I expected to get, and I would order from them again!
Good book 
2009-02-07 - For me, this book was the very first English course book in feedback control field. It is true that some examples are difficult to understand, but, anyway, I would say this is not bad book for the beginners. I liked studying using this book and I don't think there are some parts that can be said to be completly ununderstandable.
Maybe there are better books for beginners, but I have not regret byuing it. I still use it as refrence time to time.
Great text!
2008-10-24 - This is an excellent reference. My graduate-level aerospace control systems course is not taught directly out of the book -- in fact, we don't even have a required text -- but my professor swears by it. (Although there is some bias, since one of the authors was his professor when he was doing his graduate work!)
It literally saved my grade come midterm time!
Excelent control systems book
2008-10-19 - The Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems book from Franklin is an outstanding book. The most impressive feature is how clear the ideas and methods are explained. This book is greatly recommended for professors, students and researchers.
