Presenting students with a comprehensive and efficient approach to the modeling, simulation,and analysis of dynamic systems, this textbook addresses mechanical, electrical, thermaland fluid systems, feedback control systems, and their combinations. It features a robustintroduction to fundamental mathematical prerequisites, suitable for students from a rangeof backgrounds; clearly established three-key procedures – fundamental principles, basicelements, and ways of analysis – for students to build on in confidence as they explore newtopics; over 300 end-of-chapter problems, with solutions available for instructors, to solidifya hands-on understanding; and clear and uncomplicated examples using MATLAB®/Simulink®, and Mathematica®, to introduce students to computational approaches. Witha capstone chapter focused on the application of these techniques to real-world engineeringproblems, this is an ideal resource for a single-semester course in dynamic systems forstudents in mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering.
