Mechanical Systems
A Unified Approach to Vibrations and Controls
Authors: Gans, Roger F.
Free Preview- Presents a unified approach to vibrations and controls, including an excellent diagram that simultaneously discusses embedding classical vibrations (mechanical systems) in a discussion of models, inverse models and open and closed loop control
- Makes a careful connection of the Lagrangian approach and state space
- Introduces the reader to a formal approach to linearization, something that every engineering student should know, but which is not included in many programs or undergraduate textbooks
- Emphasizes Includes simulations of nonlinear systems compared with the usual linear approximations
- Features a concise discussion of DC motors, affording a more realistic approach to controls
- Includes a final chapter address feedback linearization generally, and in the context of robots with purely revolute joints

- About this Textbook
-
This essential textbook concerns analysis and control of engineering mechanisms, which includes almost any apparatus with moving parts used in daily life, from musical instruments to robots. A particular characteristic of this book is that it presents with considerable breadth and rigor both vibrations and controls. Many contemporary texts combine both of these topics in a single, one term course. This text supports the more favorable circumstance where the material is covered in a one year sequence contains enough material for a two semester sequence, but it can also be used in a single semester course combining two topics. “Mechanical Systems: A Unified Approach to Vibrations and Controls” presents a common notation and approach to these closely related areas. Examples from the both vibrations and controls components are integrated throughout this text.
