Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems (3^rd Ed.)

Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems, Third Edition introduces MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Simscape? and then utilizes them to perform symbolic, graphical, numerical, and simulation tasks. Written for senior level courses/modules, the textbook meticulously covers techniques for modeling a variety of engineering systems, methods of response analysis, and introductions to mechanical vibration, and to basic control systems. These features combine to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the mathematical modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. The Third Edition now includes Case Studies, expanded coverage of system identification, and updates to the computational tools included.
