Authors:
- Emphasizes the linear graph method for modeling dynamic systems
- Offers a systematic approach for creating an engineering model, extracting information, and formulating mathematical analyses
- Adopts a unifying theme of power flow as the dynamic agent that eases analysis of hybrid systems, such as machinery
- Presents differential equations as dynamic operators and stresses input/output relationships
- Introduces Mathcad and programming in MATLAB
- Allows for use of Open Source Computational Software (R or C)
- Features over 1300 illustrations

About this book
This unique textbook takes the student from the initial steps in modeling a dynamic system through development of the mathematical models needed for feedback control. The generously-illustrated, student-friendly text focuses on fundamental theoretical development rather than the application of commercial software. Practical details of machine design are included to motivate the non-mathematically inclined student.
