System Dynamics and Controls
By S. Graham Kelly
About your course materials
Kelly's SYSTEM DYNAMICS AND CONTROLS, 1st Edition, covers mathematical modeling of dynamic systems, including mechanical systems, electrical systems and transport systems. The mathematical models are converted into Laplace transform models (transfer functions) and state-space models. The response of dynamic systems is covered in the s or transform domain and the time domain. Block diagram models of dynamic systems are developed from both the transfer functions and the state-space model. The control of dynamic systems is discussed, including types of controllers and the design of controllers. This title provides a concise description of system dynamics and controls.

This title is versatile and may be used for a system dynamics course, followed by a controls course, or it may be used in a controls course. It allows for easy teaching of controls using both transfer function methods and state-space methods.
The chapters on mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, electrical systems and transport systems cover the entire range of engineering topics that employ control system methods.
Discussion of operational amplifiers, hydraulic servomotors and pneumatic systems provide the instructor with the basics of controllers.
Coverage of lesser-known topics includes time delay systems.
