Soumitro Banerjee, "Dynamics for Engineers"
Wiley (August 19, 2005) | English | 0470868449 | 294 pages | PDF | 2.03 MB

Modeling and analysis of dynamical systems is a widespread practice that is important for engineers to know how a given physical or engineering system will behave under certain circumstances.

This text offers a comprehensive and systematic introduction of methods and techniques used for translating physical problems into mathematical language, focusing on linear and nonlinear systems. Very practical in its approach, with solved examples, summaries, and sets of problems in each chapter, Dynamics of Engineers covers all aspects of modeling and analyzing dynamic systems.

Key features:

• Introduces the Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and Bond Graph methodologies, and illustrates how these can be effectively used for obtaining differential equations for a wide variety of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems.
• Develops a geometric understanding of the dynamics of physical systems by introducing the state space, and the character of the vector field around equilibrium points.
• Sets out features of the dynamics of nonlinear systems, such as like limit cycles, high-period orbits, and chaotic orbits.
• Establishes methodologies for formulating discrete-time models, and for developing dynamics in discrete state space.

Senior undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, mechanical, civil, aeronautical and allied branches of engineering in this book is a valuable resource as teachers in the system modeling, analysis, control and design.
