System Dynamics is a cornerstone resource for engineers faced with the evermore-complex job of designing mechatronic systems involving any number of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and magnetic subsystems. This updated Fourth Edition offers the latest coverage on one of the most important design tools today-bond graph modeling-the powerful, unified graphic modeling language.
The only comprehensive guide to modeling, designing, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems comprising a variety of technologies and energy domains, System Dynamics, Fourth Edition continues the previous edition's step-by-step approach to creating dynamic models. The first six chapters have been improved to make the material much more understandable for those unfamiliar with physical system modeling. The presentation starts with the basic elements and leads to sophisticated mathematical models suitable for automated computer simulation. The new edition incorporates the authors' vast experience in teaching the topics to undergraduate and graduate students over many years and features expanded coverage of topics including:
* New expositions of modeling methods for electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems
* New sections on mechanical systems in plane and three-dimensional motion
* New sections on hydraulic and acoustic systems
This Fourth Edition continues to stress all the essentials-from basic hand formulation of simple bond graph models to the automatic simulation of complex mechatronic systems. It offers updated examples of multi-energy domain systems as well as:
* Discussions of state-of-the-art simulation software for use with bond graph models
* Presentations of a multiport modeling philosophy based on power and energy interactions
* Methods for understanding system characteristics and predicting system behaviors
* The use of graphical depictions of dynamic systems that can be translated automatically into complex mathematical models for computer simulation | | | |

 Excellent reference for modeling dynamic systems Oct 25, 2007
I purchased this book for work as a reference for modeling vehicle ride characteristics. I had some background in bond graph modeling techniques, but needed a refresher. This book provides excellent background and step by step methods for obtaining bond graph models of mechanical and electrical systems. These models can be readily converted to systems of differential equations (state-space equations), which is what I needed for my project. This book describes techniques for both linear and nonlinear systems, more clearly than other references I had looked at.

Great book Mar 21, 2006
This book goes into great depth on systems. You'll like it. It's considered one of the best systems books.

 difficult to read Jul 11, 2004
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.

Who could possibly read this? Jun 13, 2002
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.

The best book within modelling and simulation! Jan 14, 2001
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!
