System Dynamics and Control

By Eronini Umez-Eronini, ISBN 0-534-94451-5
The objectives of this book are to provide a unified treatment of systemdynamics and automatic controls, to emphasize the key role that dynamicsystem modeling plays in most engineering endeavors, to illustrate theproper balance between theory and current practice, and to highlight certainconcepts and practices that are important in professional work. The bookcomprises three parts: Physical Modeling and Model Construction, ModelSolution, and System Design. Throughout the book, a wide range of engineeringdisciplines are incorporated, including mechanical, electrical, electromechanical,fluid, thermal, and chemical applications. In addition to presenting bothclassical and modern state-space control, the author gives a comprehensivepresentation of the beginning and ending steps in dynamic system analysis,physical modeling and design realization.
