The book presents the methodology applicable to the modeling and analysis of a variety of dynamic systems, regardless of their physical origin. It includes detailed modeling of mechanical, electrical, electro-mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems. Models are developed in the form of state-variable equations, input-output differential equations, transfer functions, and block diagrams. The Laplace-transform is used for analytical solutions. Computer solutions are based on MATLAB and Simulink.

From the Publisher
The authors include systems from at least two disciplines in some depth to illustrate the commonality of the modeling and analysis techniques, to encourage students to avoid compartmentalizing their knowledge and prepare them to work on projects as part of an interdisciplinary team. Linear models are developed in terms of state-variable equations, input-output differential equations and transfer functions. Emphasizes such concepts as damping ratios, time constants, poles and zeros, mode and frequency-response functions. This revision demonstrates how to apply specific computer packages to linear and nonlinear models. Contains nearly 200 examples and over 400 end-of-chapter problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for a first course in system modeling,
By
This review is from: Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems (Paperback)
I had to buy this book for my last semester in electrical engineering. It is a good choice as an introduction to mathematical tools used in representation and analysis of dynamic systems, electrical or mecanical.
First, there are a few chapters about basic notions of dynamic (translational and rotational. You can pass this part quickly if you had a few mechanic classes, because it is just to show the good way to represent systems in modeling. Next, a good explanation of state variable modeling, transfert function, linear vs non linear equations, etc, is well written, with good examples, without too advanced maths. If you have learned basic notions in calculus and linear algebra, you can follow the text pretty easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Once of the best writers and teachers.,
By Noel Milton Vega (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems (Paperback)
I'm not surprised that this book scores highly (and will continue to). "Dr. Charles M. Close" was a professor
of mine at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; and while in other course too, we also used his books. His drive for perfection in writing, instruction, and presentation of critical subject matter is un-paralleled anywhere. You simply "get it" with him. His writing and presentation style, in fact, profoundly moulded the way I approached authoring of technical documents. University faculty and students alike will learn a ton from this and other of his books. This is true! Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good introduction to the subject,
By Joe De Waele (Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Professional engineering these days strongly rely on accurate mathematical modelling of systems. This book is a good introduction to the subject without loosing the link to the numeral solving techniques. Advanced mathematical equations are omitted so this text will serve only as an introduction and not as a complete treatment. Nevertheless, it is a good book when starting to study mathematical modelling of physical systems.
