Synopsis: This book provides cutting-edge insight into systems dynamics for both students and practicing engineers. Updated throughout for the second edition, this book serves as a firm foundation to develop expertise in design, prototyping, control, instrumentation, experimentation, and performance analysis. Providing a clear discussion of system dynamics, this book enables students and professionals to both understand and subsequently model mechanical, thermal, fluid, electrical, and multi-domain (or, multi-physics) systems in a systematic, unified, and integrated manner. Concepts of through and across-variables, are introduced and applied, alongside tools of modeling and model representation in linear graphs. This book uses innovative worked examples and case studies, alongside problems and exercises based on practical situations. This book is a crucial companion to undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students, alongside professionals in the engineering field. Complete solutions to end-of-chapter problems are provided in a solutions manual, which is available to instructors.
