Analytical System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation 1st Edition by Brian Fabien (PDF)

Description

“Analytical System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation” combines results from analytical mechanics and system dynamics to develop an approach to modeling constrained multidiscipline dynamic systems. This combination yields a modeling technique based on the energy method of Lagrange, which in turn, results in a set of differential-algebraic equations that are suitable for numerical integration. Using the modeling approach presented in this book enables one to model and simulate systems as diverse as a six-link, closed-loop mechanism or a transistor power amplifier.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews:”The textbook combines results from analytical mechanics and system dynamics to develop an approach to modeling constrained multidiscipline dynamic systems. … Every chapter ends with a list of 15–30 problems for students. The book will be of interest to graduate students, researches and practicing engineers in multidiscipline dynamic systems described by ODE and DAE.” (Sergei Georgievich Zhuravlev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1163, 2009)“The recently published Analytical System Dynamics, by Professor Fabien … is an excellent marriage of the traditional Analytical Mechanics and System Dynamics. Two major features make this book stand out from other advanced dynamics books. … This book devotes more than one-third of its contents to numerical approaches and simulations of dynamic systems. … Analytical System Dynamics is a textbook suitable for graduate-level, advanced dynamics courses of both modeling and simulation. … it is a good complementary text for advanced dynamics.” (Zhuang Li, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 14 (2), 2009)“This book is aimed at teaching dynamic system modeling and simulation to seniors and first-year graduate students in engineering. The topics covered include a unified system representation, kinematics, Lagrange’s equation of motion, constrained systems, numerical solution of ODEs and DAEs, and dynamic system analysis and stimulation.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 29, August, 2009) From the Back Cover Analytical System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation combines results from analytical mechanics and system dynamics to develop an approach to modeling constrained multidiscipline dynamic systems. This combination yields a modeling technique based on the energy method of Lagrange, which in turn, results in a set of differential-algebraic equations that are suitable for numerical integration. Using the modeling approach presented in this book enables one to model and simulate systems as diverse as a six-link, closed-loop mechanism or a transistor power amplifier.Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and applications Brian Fabien discusses:Lagrange’s equation of motion starting with the First Law of Thermodynamics, rather than the traditional Hamilton’s principleTreatment of the kinematic/structural analysis of machines and mechanisms, as well as the structural analysis of electrical/fluid/thermal networksVarious aspects of modeling and simulating dynamic systems using a Lagrangian approach with more than 125 worked examples Simulation results for various models developed using MATLABAnalytical System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation will be of interest to students, researchers and practicing engineers who wish to use a multidisciplinary approach to dynamic systems incorporating material and examples from electrical systems, fluid systems and mixed technology systems that carries the derivation of differential equations to a final form that can be used for simulation.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I was searching for analytical dynamics textbook in mechanical engineering.Most of the analytical dynamics books are for physics course.The problem is that 70% of topics in the physics book overlap with the intro-level engineering dynamics book.Then I finally found this textbook.The unique feature of this textbook is that it uses uses “generalized” form of Lagrange equation,which can handle dampers or velocity potentials.(many textbooks avoid or minimize these topics)Then, the equation is applied to not only mechanical, but also electrical, thermal, or fluid systems.This textbook is by far the BEST textbook on Lagrangian dynamics.It has very clear explanation with lots of examples.It is excellent for self-study.The only shortcoming is that it does NOT cover Hamiltonian formulation.

⭐Great book for a physically minded person! I use it for a senior level mechanical engineering class. The book is small, light, and doesn’t waste paper explaining stuff that you learned in 15 other classes before. Not for beginners!
