About this ebook
System Dynamics for Engineering Students: Concepts and Applications, Third Edition provides a classical approach to system dynamics that is designed for a one-semester course for upper-level undergraduate students. It focuses on mechanical, aerospace, and electrical engineering, featuring examples from compliant mechanisms and MEMS/NEMS. The text aims to offer a robust understanding of system dynamics, helping students grasp both fundamental and complex concepts. The updated edition has been reorganized and updated to enhance the flow for instructors and students. It includes a greater variety of topics, applications, and real-world examples, along with more basic examples and end-of-chapter problems.Additionally, the edition offers comprehensive analysis and design examples, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. - Provides more balance between analytical and computational approaches - Proposes an updated chapter sequence to improve the flow and connectivity of system dynamics - Includes a three-chapter Controls section to meet the needs of programs that cover both system dynamics and controls in the course - Integrates Lagrange's equations as another modeling technique of dynamic systems - Utilizes both analytical methods and MATLAB/Simulink to solve examples
