Analysis and design of dynamic systems

Using practical examples to enhance student understanding, this comprehensive text introduces fundamental systems techniques for the analysis and design of dynamic systems. It integrates discussions of control systems, physical principles and vibration with that of system dynamics, addressing these topics from a design perspective. The book features a new chapter on microelectromechanical devices, expanded and revised treatment of automatic controls, improved coverage of Laplace transforms and detailed treatment of Evans' root locus methods.
