Preface
In this textbook, we describe the fundamentals of system dynamics using Laplace transform techniques and frequency domain approaches as the primary analytical tools. It is aimed at the mechanical engineering student and, therefore, begins with a thorough discussion of the modeling of mechanical systems to provide the backdrop for the entire text. Once the fundamentals of mechanical system behavior are developed, the topic is broadened to include electrical, electromechanical, and thermal systems. Wherever possible, analogies between the less familiar systems and their mechanical counterparts are drawn upon to help clarify the subject
