Dynamics of Physical Systems (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering)

Looking for a comprehensive text and reference for a first study of system dynamics and control? Look no further than the Dynamics of Physical Systems (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) Book. This book emphasizes engineering concepts, such as modeling, dynamics feedback, and stability, rather than routine analysis procedures. By focusing on physical modeling, it cultivates an appreciation for the breadth of dynamic systems without resorting to electric-circuit formulation and analysis.

With a careful treatment of the modeling of physical systems in several media and the derivation of the differential equations of motion, this book goes beyond theory. It determines the physical behavior that these equations represent, encompassing the free and forced motions of elementary systems and complex "systems of systems." You'll also find comprehensive linear treatment of dynamic stability and natural behavior. The concluding chapters examine response to different inputs and provide a fundamental treatment of analysis and synthesis of feedback control systems.

Its broad coverage doesn't end there. This book presents numerous examples and problems that develop physical insight in the best traditions of modern engineering. By delving into richer technical ground, it equips you with the necessary skills to excel in various fields, including management and transportation. The language used in this book is the common language of engineering, making it applicable to a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses.
