System Dynamics and Mechanical Vibrations

the long version

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of "Linear Systems Analysis" applied to dynamic systems as an approach to interdisciplinary system design beyond the related area of Electrical Engineering. The text gives an interpretation of Mechanical Vibrations based on the Theory of Dynamic Systems. Central aim is to brigde the gap between existing theoretical methods in different engineering disciplines and to enable advanced students or professionals in modelling dynamic and vibrating systems with reference to communication and control processes. Emphasizing the theory it presents a balanced coverage of analytical principles and applications to vibrations with regard to mechatronic problems.
