Product Description The standard in the field, updated and revised for today's complex mechatronic systems More than ever before, engineers are responsible for the total system design of the products they create. While traditional modeling and simulation methods are useful in the design of static components, they are of little assistance to those charged with designing mechatronic systems comprising a variety of technologies and energy domains. Engineers who design such complex systems need more sophisticated tools to help them think and visualize on a dynamic systems level. This book arms them with one of the most important of those tools-bond graph modeling, a powerful unified graphic modeling language. System Dynamics, Third Edition is the only comprehensive guide to modeling, designing, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems comprising any number of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and magnetic subsystems. While it has been updated and expanded to include many new illustrations, expanded coverage of computer simulation models, and more detailed information on dynamic system analysis, it has lost none of the qualities that have helped make it the standard text/reference in the field worldwide. With the help of more than 400 illustrations, the authors demonstrate step by step how to: * Model a wide range of mechatronic systems using bond graphs * Experiment with subsystem models to verify or disprove modeling decisions * Extract system characteristics and predict system behaviors * Translate graphical models into complex mathematical simulations * Combine bond graph modeling with state-of-the-art software simulation tools System Dynamics, Third Edition is an indispensable resource for practicing engineers as well as students of mechanical, electrical, aeronautical, and chemical engineering. | ||

Excellent reference for modeling dynamic systems I purchased this book for work as a reference for modeling vehicle ride characteristics. I had some background in bond graph modeling techniques, but needed a refresher. This book provides excellent background and step by step methods for obtaining bond graph models of mechanical and electrical systems. These models can be readily converted to systems of differential equations (state-space equations), which is what I needed for my project. This book describes techniques for both linear and nonlinear systems, more clearly than other references I had looked at. | ||
Great book This book goes into great depth on systems. You'll like it. It's considered one of the best systems books. | ||
difficult to read first of all, this book is difficult to read because not only the complicated explanation but also the auther sometimes changes the notations suddenly. these make this book be difficult. if there is another choice, it should be chosen. | ||
Who could possibly read this? Absolutely completely confusing text. Poorly written, difficult to understand and extremely wordy. Author takes a moderately complex subject and creates a monster of confusion. The absence of a good bond graph text probably holds back the proliferation of this modeling technique. Amazed the authors didn't attempt to simplify or condense their work after three text revisions. | ||
The best book within modelling and simulation! I have been using the 2nd edition which was the best book within modelling and simulation of "mechatronic" systems before the 3rd edition came. The price is lower than for the 2nd ed. and that one was also worth it! This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who needs to perform modeling and simulation of mechanic, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems. The book covers the basic modeling procedure, leads you through the formulation of equations, and show you simulation examples. The book is both for the beginner and for advanced engineering.
