Requests for permisson to reproduce parts of the book should be adressed directly to Professor Olav Egeland, Preface Modeling and simulation of dynamic processes are very important subjects in control systems design. Most processes that are encountered in practical controller design are very well described in the engineering literature, and it is important that the control engineer is able to take advantage of this information. It is a problem that several books must be used to get the relevant modeling information of a particular process, and it may take a long time to go through all the necessary material. The idea of this book is to supply the control engineer with a sufficient modeling background to design controllers for a wide range of processes. In addition, the book provides a good starting point for going into the specia...

This page intentionally left blank DYNAMIC MODELING AND CONTROL OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS THIRD EDITION This textbook is ideal for a course in Engineering System Dynamics and Controls. The work is a comprehensive treatment of the analysis of lumped-parameter physical systems. Starting with a discussion of mathematical models in general, and ordinary differential equations, the book covers input-output and statespace models, computer simulation, and modeling methods and techniques in mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid domains. Frequency-domain methods, transfer functions, and frequency response are covered in detail. The book concludes with a treatment of stability, feedback control (PID, lag-lead, root locus), and an introduction to discrete-time systems. This new edition features many new and expanded sections on such topics as Solving Stiff Systems, Operational Amplifiers, Electrohydraulic Servovalves, Using MATLAB ® with Transfer Functions, Using MATLAB with Frequency Response, MATLAB Tutorial, and an expanded Simulink ® Tutorial. The work has 40 percent more end-ofchapter exercises and 30 percent more examples.

An int.eract.ive computing language designed for dynamic system simulation, report.-quality graphics. dat.a acquisition. and simple. real-time control is described. It.s major features include complet.ely general equation definition. including user-defined functions and imbedded algorithmic code, sorting of algebraiC equations, and totally user-definable commands. The underlying interpreter is written entirely in the compiled language C. It i~ compact enough to run on microcomputers and is portable to several popular mini or microcomputers. A command set. for sim~lation of differentlal equations and mixed differential and difference equations is descrlbed, as is another command set for graphics. Sample problems are solved using the Simulation and graphics capabilities.
