System Dynamics: Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Mechatronic Systems

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.

Book Was in very good shape, as promised. Very little notes and comments made by the previous user, as promised.Book materiel is very well written but the subject matter is still hard. I am using it for a PhD. level class so I did expect the subject to be somehow harder than my previous classes.

Book is so boring, but it came in good condition and I got to use it twice because I failed the class. More for your money.

Great book to begin to understand the concepts of bond graphs. Also has chapters on deriving state equations. This book is definitely a "readers book". Its more of a book you sit down, read, and think about the material. Not so much a book filled with example problems.

it's a text book. were you realy expecting a good review. get teh book if you need it, use it then resell. come on what were you thinking you were getting?

The new edition was kinda pricey, but this was a very good substitute for it! The theory is the same, and most of the practice problems are, too.

This is great. It is a brand new book without any markers or notes on, which is definitely beyond my expectation under such cheap price.

This book is a comprehensive one full of usefull and practical technical details and applications. Nice and good work and Thanks!

ITS NOT THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THIS BOOK but it's still very helpful. If you're looking for the newest edition, there are PDFs online

The best intro book & reference book to the bondgraph technique. Lots of examples for most applications... some applications lacking in examples / explanation, but are perhaps not good for bondgraph in the first place.

Interesting book, studied several chapters for one of masters classes.
