System Dynamics: A Unified Approach, 2nd Edition

By Ronald C. Rosenberg, Donald L. Margolis, Dean Karnopp, et al.

Book Overview

This revised and expanded compilation explores the unity of approach to dynamic system modeling using bond-graph methods as well as other more traditional methods. While the first six chapters are basically the same as those found in the earlier edition, with some minor corrections, the majority of the change involves the advanced materials found in chapters 7-13, since more educators, practicing engineers and scientists are now aware of bond graphs than were in the early 1970s. Included in the area of new and advanced topics are: multiport fields and junction structures; transducers, amplifiers, and instruments; magnetic circuits and devices; and nonlinear simulation.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Explanation of Bond Graphs

Definitely the best book on Bond Graphs that I have used. Straightforward, not too long, doesnt over-complicate things. I have read most of it cover to cover.

A necessary tool

I have used this book extensively for several years, and it is the best reference book I have. I work with multi-domain systems and this book is perfect.

Excellent Book. HIGHLY recommended

I have a difficult time keeping this book on the shelf. Most everyone wants to borrow it. I work in an electro-magnetics lab and I have found that knowing bond graphs is extremely useful. This book is highly recommended.
