Modeling and Simulation of Dynamical Systems explores the common methods used in the modeling and simulation of dynamic systems, providing foundational information that is essential for further research. A key feature of this title is its systematic separation and classification of various modeling methods, enabling readers to select their preferred approach after studying the initial chapter and becoming familiar with fundamental definitions. Another unique feature is the use of numerous examples and solved problems throughout the book to support a basic understanding of a system’s behavior. This title is highly recommended for researchers, professionals, and students in mechanical, biosystems, and mechatronic engineering.
