Presents in a concise but through manner fundamental statement of the theory, principles and methods for the modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. Includes concepts and review of analytical dynamics, the basic single, and two degree of freedom systems using the energy and matrix methods, review of classical matrix analysis, Laplace transforms, modeling of dynamic systems, the performance and stability, and frequency response methods for the analysis and design of feedback control systems.

• Systematic approach for the analysis of dynamic systems • Illustrative examples • Programming examples using MATLAB software
