System Dynamics and Mechanical Vibrations

"The book provides a comprehensive treatment of dynamic system analysis as an approach to interdisciplinary system design, going beyond the areas of electrical and control engineering where it is generally applied. The text gives an interpretation of mechanical vibrations based on the theory of dynamic systems. The central aim is to bridge the gap between existing theoretical methods in different engineering disciplines. This enables advanced students or professionals to model vibration systems in exchange with communication and control processes. Emphasizing that the underlying theory can be generally utilized, the book presents a balanced coverage of analytical principles and of diverse vibration applications, especially with regard to mechatronic problems."--Jacket.
