Modeling of Dynamic Systems with Engineering Applications
暫譯: 工程應用中的動態系統建模

這本書提供了關於系統動力學的前沿見解，應用於包括控制系統在內的工程系統。內容適合學生和在職工程師。第二版中進行了全面更新，為設計、模擬、原型製作、控制、儀器、實驗和性能分析的專業知識發展奠定了堅實的基礎。

本書清晰地討論了系統動力學，使學生和專業人士能夠以系統化、統一和整合的方式理解並建模機械、熱、流體、電氣和多物理系統，從而導致一個「獨特」的模型。書中介紹並應用了通過變數和橫跨變數的概念，以及建模和模型表示的工具，如線性圖和方塊圖。全書使用並說明了流行的軟體工具，如SIMULINK，並且還利用了創新的實例和案例研究，並基於實際情況設計了問題和練習。

這本書是本科和研究生機械工程及其他工程學生的重要伴侶，並且適合該領域的專業人士。每章結尾的問題的完整解答在供教師使用的解答手冊中提供。
