System Dynamics, 2nd Edition >> By William J Palm III, University of Rhode Island

A. Description

System Dynamics includes the strongest treatment of computational software and system simulation of any available text, with its early introduction of MATLAB® and Simulink®. The text's extensive coverage also includes discussion of the root locus and frequency response plots, among other methods for assessing system behavior in the time and frequency domains as well as topics such as function discovery, parameter estimation, and system identification techniques, motor performance evaluation, and system dynamics in everyday life.

C. New Features

The dynamics review in Chapter 2 and the introduction to electrical systems in Chapter 6 have been edited for a more concise presentation of the material.

Block diagrams are now presented in Chapter 9 to be closer to their applications in control system analysis. The material in Chapter 5 dealing with transfer functions and state variable methods has been reorganized to better delineate the advantages of each method.

Introduction to MATLAB®, offered on the text website, provides readers with a practical, concise guide to the program.

The former Chapter 11 has been split into two chapters to focus more concisely on PID control system design issues (new Chapter 11) and compensator design (new Chapter 12).

The final chapter (Vibration Applications) now includes coverage of active vibration control systems and nonlinear vibration.
