Vibration Analysis and Control System Dynamics - Ellis Horwood Series in Mechanical Engineering.

This study provides a thorough understanding of the principles and methods of dynamic analysis, showing how it can be applied to the analysis of vibrating systems and the study of control system dynamics.;There is great benefit to be gained by studying vibration analysis and control system dynamics together, and in having this information in a single text, because the analyses of the dynamics of control systems and the vibration of elastic systems are closely linked. This is because in many cases the same equations of motion occur in the analysis of control systems and in vibrating systems, and thus the techniques developed in the analysis of one system can be used in the other, and vice versa.;Furthermore, the results of the analysis of one system can be applied to the other. This linking together constitutes a very efficient way of analyzing dynamic systems.;Concise derivations of the equations of motion of dynamic systems are given throughout this text, and the author shows how these equations of motion lead to the analysis of vibrating systems, and the determination of control system response. The physical importance of the analytical results are clearly explained and a wide range of worked examples, exercises and worked solutions illustrate and clarify the text.
