Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems, 3e

This 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.  MATLAB, Simulink, and the Control System Toolbox are used to build linear models, root-locus plots, computer simulations, and more.
