  • Electrical Correcting Elements in Automatic Control and Regulation Circuits

    • 1st Edition
    • G. K. Krug + 1 more
    • English
    Electrical Correcting Elements in Automatic Control and Regulation Circuits describes electrical correcting and stabilizing devices, with practical recommendations when these are used in automatic control systems. The book deals with the use of correcting and stabilizing devices into automatic regulation and control systems. The text explains in detail the type of correcting action that is best suited for an automatic control system; and it also notes the basic structure and the operations of the static and astatic systems. The text explains the use of the frequency characteristics method to determine the dynamic performance of a system, especially since external disturbances can disrupt both the regulator and the device being regulated. The book enumerates the three basic requirements of a closed automatic regulation or control system: 1) system stability; 2) allowable error is within limits; and 3) essential requirements for transients are met. The text also investigates the circuit of a common correcting device using passive four-terminal networks with resistances and capacitances. The book analyzes the methods of correcting systems with automatic regulation and control that use carrier frequency. The use of electric motors to correct schemes in control and automatic regulation is preferred as these motors can use signals originating from alternating current, instead of employing modulators and de-modulators. The book is suitable for design engineers, and people working with automatic control devices and regulators.

  • Finite Element Analysis Applications

    A Systematic and Practical Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Zhuming Bi
    • English
    Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach strikes a solid balance between more traditional FEA textbooks that focus primarily on theory, and the software specific guidebooks that help teach students and professionals how to use particular FEA software packages without providing the theoretical foundation. In this new textbook, Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focuses mainly on essentials that students need to understand FEA models. The book is organized to be application-oriented... covering FEA modeling theory and skills directly associated with activities involved in design processes. Discussion of classic FEA elements (such as truss, beam and frame) is limited. Via the use of several case studies, the book provides easy-to-follow guidance on modeling of different design problems. It uses SolidWorks simulation as the platform so that students do not need to waste time creating geometries for FEA modelling.
