Publisher's Synopsis
For undergraduate and graduate-level courses in Systems Dynamics, Modeling, Interdisciplinary Systems.
Reflecting the state-of-the-art and current trends in modeling and simulation, this text provides comprehensive coverage of 1) the modeling techniques of the major types of dynamic engineering systems, 2) the solution techniques for the resulting differential equations for linear and nonlinear systems, and 3) the attendant mathematical procedures related to the representation of dynamic systems and determination of their time and frequency response characteristics. It explains in detail how to select all of the system component parameter values for static and dynamic performance specifications and limits.
