Control Systems Engineering: Books to Master the Basics

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for mastering Control Systems Engineering include essential topics such as Laplace transforms, Bode plots, and Nyquist criteria. A suggested resource is the book "Control System Engineering" by Norman Hayes, which is noted for its comprehensive coverage. Additionally, a link to MIT's OpenCourseWare provides valuable lecture notes and readings for further study. The community appreciates these resources as they significantly aid in understanding the fundamentals of control systems. Overall, these texts and materials are crucial for anyone looking to strengthen their knowledge in this field.

hi,

Can someone suggest some good books in Control Systems engg. which includes all from laplace to bode plots,nyquist etc etc.

Thanx for any help.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
