System Dynamics (eBook, PDF)

An Introduction for Mechanical Engineers

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This essential textbook takes the student from the initial steps in modeling a dynamic system through development of the mathematical models needed for feedback control. The generously-illustrated, student-friendly text focuses on fundamental theoretical development rather than the application of commercial software. Practical details of machine design are included to motivate the non-mathematically inclined student.

This book also:

Emphasizes the linear graph method for modeling dynamic systems

Offers a systematic approach for creating an engineering model, extracting information, and formulating mathematical analyses

Adopts a unifying theme of power flow as the dynamic agent that eases analysis of hybrid systems, such as machinery

Presents differential equations as dynamic operators and stresses input/output relationships

Introduces Mathcad and programming in MATLAB

Allows for use of Open Source Computational Software (R or C)

Features over 1000 illustrations
