System Dynamics and Control with Bond Graph Modeling

by Javier Kypuros

Overview

Written by a professor with extensive teaching experience, System Dynamics and Control with Bond Graph Modeling treats system dynamics from a bond graph perspective. Using an approach that combines bond graph concepts and traditional approaches, the author presents an integrated approach to system dynamics and automatic controls.

The textbook guides students from the process of modeling using bond graphs, through dynamic systems analysis in the time and frequency domains, to classical and state-space controller design methods. Each chapter contains worked examples, review exercises, problems that assess students’ grasp of concepts, and open-ended "challenges" that bring in real-world engineering practices. It also includes innovative vodcasts and animated examples, to motivate student learners and introduce new learning technologies.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Bond Graphs provide an ideal platform to introduce undergraduate students to dynamic system modeling as it demonstrates the commonality of all energy-based systems. … While other texts present bond graphs and their utility in modeling dynamic systems, this text appears especially suited to use in a first undergraduate course. The prose is clear and understandable, and the organization of the material provides a logical presentation."
