System Dynamics - Tapa dura

Offering comprehensive coverage of the analysis and design of linear systems, this text provides extensive coverage of both mechanical and electrical systems and includes analyses of pneumatic systems, hydraulic systems, thermal systems and water-rank systems. The book presents an introduction to state space analysis, presents mathematical tools necessary for systems analysis early on, covers LaPlace transforms, expands coverage of transient and frequency responses of linear systems, and covers the computer approach to systems analysis. This second edition extends coverage of step motors, expands coverage of two or more degrees-of-freedom systems, discusses state space formulation of dynamic systems, provides thorough coverage of discrete-time systems based on the z transform method and contains many new examples and problems.
