The book is written for an undergraduate course on the Feedback Control Systems. It provides comprehensive explanation of theory and practice of control system engineering. It elaborates various aspects of time domain and frequency domain analysis and design of control systems.
Each chapter starts with the background of the topic. Then it gives the conceptual knowledge about the topic dividing it in various sections and subsections. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The explanations are given using very simple and lucid language. All the chapters are arranged in a specific sequence which helps to build the understanding of the subject in a logical fashion.
The book starts with explaining the various types of control systems. Then it explains how to obtain the mathematical models of various types of systems such as electrical, mechanical, thermal and liquid level systems. Then the book includes good coverage of the block diagram and signal flow graph methods of representing the various systems and the reduction methods to obtain simple system from the analysis point of view. The book further illustrates the steady state and transient analysis of control systems. The book covers the fundamental knowledge of controllers used in practice to optimize the performance of the systems. The book emphasizes the detailed analysis of second order systems as these systems are common in practice and higher order systems can be approximated as second order systems.
The book teaches the concept of stability and time domain stability analysis using Routh-Hurwitz method and root locus method. It further explains the fundamentals of frequency domain analysis of the systems including co-relation between time domain and frequency domain. The book gives very simple techniques for stability analysis of the systems in the frequency domain, using Bode plot, Polar plot and Nyquist plot methods. It also explores the concepts of compensation and design of the control systems in time domain and frequency domain.
The classical approach loses the importance of initial conditions in the systems. Thus, the book provides the detailed explanation of modern approach of analysis which is the state variable analysis of the systems including methods of finding the state transition matrix, solution of state equation and the concepts of controllability and observability.
The variety of solved examples is the feature of this book which helps to inculcate the knowledge of the design and analysis of the control systems in the students. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
After graduation, he started his career as Visiting Lecturer in Bharati Vidyapeeth's College of Engineering, Pune, and PVG's College of Engineering and Technology, Pune. Then he continued as a lecturer at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune.
While working in VIT, he introduced new concepts in teaching methods. He also introduced the concept of Quality Circle at the educational institute level. The Quality Circle, started by him at VIT, got recognition at the national level. While working in VIT, he conducted training programs in various industries like Bajaj Auto, Bharat Electronics, Cummins, etc. He developed many small models and projects in Electrical Department of VIT to teach engineering subjects concepts. At the same time, he published his first book on Feedback Control Systems which got an overwhelming response all over India.
After leaving VIT, he was Joint Director of Noble Institute of Computer Training, Pune. Due to his dedicated teaching and endless efforts, many students from this institute got admission to ranked U.S. universities with an assistantship.
After that, he started his coaching classes to impart thorough knowledge to the engineering students of various engineering subjects. Professor Bakshi simultaneously published many engineering books. The books written by him are recommended by multiple Indian and foreign universities in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He has a total of 30 years of teaching and writing experience in the field of engineering.
