Book Description

February 11, 1997 0133564037 978-0133564037 2nd

This book presents 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. This book includes treatment of both input/output and state space models, analogies between physical domains (mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal) with an emphasis on the appropriate physical laws, an in-depth discussion of mixed (multi-domain) systems, and a discussion of nonlinearities and linearization methods. Contains chapters on Discrete- Time systems and digital control. It also presents a discussion of transfer functions, stability, and feedback control. It provides specific examples and problems geared toward MATLAB and SIMULINK as well as example files and supplementary files to run with MATLAB and SIMULINK. A valuable reference book for engineering and computer professionals responsible for systems modeling.



Editorial Reviews

Book Description

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 text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars David From SC,USA, April 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Modeling and Control of Engineering Systems (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
A great introduction to control theory.However, it would help if you know something about differential equations. I read Ogata's book on control (over 900 pages) from cover to cover twice and still could not figure out exactly what state variables are. This book explains things very well but you do need to do the problems at the end of each chapter. The use of "free-body" diagrams is a great idea.Ogata's book is great for explaining a lot of the details but this book explains the important things in a concise but easy to understand manner. I now finally understand how to draw a system diagram by starting from the inputs for each separate system. Everything is brought together -- system diagrams,transfer functions,state variables,the purpose for LaPlace transforms,and input-output models. This is not a book about control theory and it is covered in only the last two chapters but if you are taking, or going to take, a course in control theory,read this book first. It will save you a lot of frustration and bewilderment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but expects knowledge from other courses, January 31, 2010
The book can be wordy at times and very author specific for terms. He doesnt use the symbols most students are used to using to represent variables. Don't buy unless professor required.
