It is a unique amalgam of classical and state-space design techniques, with MATLAB/SIMULINK examples interwoven with the text. Contemporary engineering control systems of various kinds are covered in a clear and concise manner, and the book is written with enthusiasm in an inspiring style. The overall result is a mathematically rigorous coverage of essential topics, without undue formal drudgery, or excessive theoretical detail. The material is arranged in such a way that concepts evolve in a logical manner, whereby appropriate techniques fit like a glove. A broad spectrum of topics ranging from classical control to optimal, robust, digital, and nonlinear control are included. Advanced topics such as H-infinity design and &b.mu; -synthesis also feature in this comprehensive textbook. Whereas other controls engineering textbooks are inclined to dwell more on the evaluation of controls formulae and rules of application, this book emphasizes 'in-line' execution of control techniques to non-trivial application problems through MATLAB, in order to produce, visualize and investigate results. This hands-on scheme of learning is effective in grasping and appreciating controls concepts. A number of exercises are found at the end of the chapters, with numerical answers provided to some exercises. Numerous design examples from all engineering disciplines, along with the author's simple approach in explaining theoretical concepts, make this book an ideal text for students, as well as a valuable professional reference. Not just another MATLAB book, because it lends intimate acquaintance with the "why" and "what" of control concepts, and the underlying theory. Easily read and understood. MATLAB/SIMULINK examples clear, concise, and directly integrated into the text. Students learn to use MATLAB/SIMULINK as tools (not as black boxes). Comprehensive coverage of topics, from classical control to optimal, robust, state-space control.

It could also be a component of a more general systems engineering curriculum, or it could be part of a specialized program, for example, in control systems or embedded systems. The text emphasizes concepts and principles. Another approach to presenting a systems topic, especially a relatively new one such as real-time software, is through case studies. A case-study approach was rejected because it is inherently less efficient, requiring the learning of many unnecessary details also, an emphasis on concepts forces the student and teacher to understand the underlying principles that apply to many situations. On the other hand, many examples of commercial and research systems are used throughout the book to explain and justify concepts. The book's ten chapters can be divided into four general areas. The first two chapters give some general definitions and architectural frameworks for designing and building real-time software. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 cover formal and informal methods for specifying requirements and designs, with some emphasis on state-based schemes and assertional notations. The next three chapters focus on different aspects of time. Chapters 9 and 10 discuss software implementation mechanisms there are separate chapters on real-time programming languages and operating systems. A large number of exercises are specified.

The book starts with a description of motion in space, the requirements of rockets for placing spacecrafts in different orbits about the Earth and escaping from the gravitational pull of celestial bodies. The rocket equation is subsequently formulated, following examples of the motion of a sled from change of momentum and movement of giant squid in deep seas. The operating principles, performance prediction procedures, design aspects and problem areas of the different types of rockets are discussed in detail. Practical examples and exercises are provided in each chapter to aid in understanding the concepts. Some of the salient features of the book are: •Terms employed in practice for defining the characteristic features of rockets are derived from basics and are illustrated with examples. •Selection of propellants for rockets is debated and a simplified analytical method is given for evaluating propellants used in solid, liquid and hybrid propellant rockets. •An exhaustive description and analysis of the cycles of operation of liquid propellant and cryogenic propellant rockets is provided. •An entire chapter is devoted to the problem of combustion instability, often encountered in the development of solid and liquid propellant rockets. The factors causing the instability are deduced. Detuning and gain stabilization methods of overcoming combustion instability are discussed. •The principles governing the operation of electrical rockets and the limitations arising from power and associated mass are deduced. •A brief on advanced rockets such as nuclear rockets, tri-propellant rockets, pulse detonation rockets is also provided.
