Rowell and Wormley use a linear graph approach. This contrasts with the bond graph approach or no graph approach. This is the first modern linear graph System Dynamics that has been published in 30 years. Chapters are organized so that introductory material is presented first, with more advanced topics coming later. Contains exceptionally clear presentation of Frequency response. Features detailed development of the construction of lumpedparameter system models from sets of primitive elements; and modeling techniques are presented using an energy based statespace formulation method that provides linkages to classical system representations.
Adopting a linear graph approach, rather than the bond graph or no graph approach, this work features a clear presentation of frequency response. It develops in detail the construction of lumped-parameter system models from sets of primitive elements. The work also presents a detailed development of the construction of lumped-parameter system models from sets of primitive elements, and an understanding of the transient and frequency response performance of those models.
