System Dynamics : Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronic Systems

Rating:
Summary: Who could possibly read this?
Review: Absolutely completely confusing text. Poorly written, difficult to understand and extremely wordy. Author takes a moderately complex subject and creates a monster of confusion. The absence of a good bond graph text probably holds back the proliferation of this modeling technique. Amazed the authors didn't attempt to simplify or condense their work after three text revisions.

Summary: difficult to read
Review: first of all, this book is difficult to read because not only the complicated explanation but also the auther sometimes changes the notations suddenly. these make this book be difficult. if there is another choice, it should be chosen.

Summary: The best book within modelling and simulation!
Review: I have been using the 2nd edition which was the best book within modelling and simulation of "mechatronic" systems before the 3rd edition came. The price is lower than for the 2nd ed. and that one was also worth it! This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who needs to perform modeling and simulation of mechanic, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems. The book covers the basic modeling procedure, leads you through the formulation of equations, and show you simulation examples. The book is both for the beginner and for advanced engineering. Recommended!
