| Özet: | System modeling and analysis is a standard activity in every engineering discipline. This text offers a broad-based introduction to engineering systems that incorporates material from mechanical and electrical engineering and hydraulic and thermal systems. The overall theme that distinguishes the text from others is its unified treatment of disparate physical systems, emphasizing similarities in both the modeling and behavior of such lumped-element systems. Linear graph theory is presented as a unifying framework for modeling electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal systems as lumped elements. The analysis of system dynamics that follows is done in the time domain and organized by behavioral characteristics rather than by engineering subdisciplines. Next, the Laplace transform is introduced as a tool for understanding frequency response. State space methods are also presented to provide a third perspective on system behavior. The final chapter covers the interaction of subcomponents of an overall system, particularly feedback systems and feedback control systems. Every chapter includes a wide variety of examples, as well as exercise problems, drawn from real-world engineering systems. Aimed at second- and third-year undergraduates, this introductory text offers a unified entry to the multidisciplinary world of engineering. |
