This textbook is ideal for an undergraduate course in Engineering System Dynamics and Controls. It is intended to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of the process of creating mathematical (and computer-based) models of physical systems. The material is restricted to lumped parameter models, which are those models in which time is the only independent variable. It assumes a basic knowledge of engineering mechanics and ordinary differential equations. The new edition has expanded topical coverage and many more new examples and exercises.

This is a textbook for undergraduate courses in system dynamics and controls. It presents a comprehensive treatment of the analysis of lumped parameter physical systems. Beginning with a discussion of mathematical models and ODE's, the book covers input/output and state space models, computer simulation and modeling methods and techniques in mechanical, electrical, thermal and fluid domains.
This book is a comprehensive treatment of the analysis of lumped parameter physical systems. The first portion of the book deals with the fundamentals of dynamics system modeling including a discussion of mechanical systems (translational and rotational), analytical solutions of ordinary differential equations and a discussion of state space theory. A greatly expanded treatment of numerical methods and techniques for computer simulation is also included. The nest portion of the text deals with modeling systems from various physical domains (electrical, fluid, and thermal) and systems which combine many physical domains. The book concludes with an introduction to the concepts and theory pertinent to automatic control systems, including computer control systems.

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. Hardback book in nearly new condition: firm and square with strong joints. Just a few hardly noticeable cosmetic rubs or very mild bumps. Hence a non-text page shows a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book looks and feels unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. And so a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price. Seller Inventory # 203973
