System Dynamics includes the strongest treatment of computational
software and system simulation of any available text, with its early
introduction of MATLAB® and Simulink®. The text's extensive coverage
also includes discussion of the root locus and frequency response
plots, among other methods for assessing system behavior in the time
and frequency domains as well as topics such as function discovery,
parameter estimation, and system identification techniques, motor
performance evaluation, and system dynamics in everyday life.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
v The author has edited two chapters for a more concise presentation
of the review on dynamics (Ch. 2) and a more concise introduction
to electrical systems (Ch. 6).
v Block diagrams, formerly in Chapter 5, are now presented in
Chapter 9 to be closer to their applications in control system analysis.
The material in Chapter 5 dealing with transfer functions and state
variable methods has been reorganized to better delineate the advantages
of each method.
v Introduction to MATLAB®, offered on the text website, provides
readers with a practical, concise guide to the program.
v The former Chapter 11 has been split into two chapters to focus
more concisely on PID control system design issues (new Chapter
11) and compensator design (new Chapter 12).

Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics &
Dynamics presents the fundamental concepts clearly, in a modern
context using applications and pedagogical devices that connect with
today’s students. The text features a five-part problem-solving methodology
that is consistently used throughout all example problems.
This methodology helps students lay out the steps necessary to correct
problem-formulation and explains the steps needed to arrive at correct
and realistic solutions. Once students have fully mastered the basic
concepts, they are taught appropriate use of modern computational
tools where applicable. Further reinforcing the text's modern emphasis,
the authors have brought engineering design considerations into
selected problems where appropriate. This sensitizes students to the
fact that engineering problems do not have a single answer and many
different routes lead to a correct solution.
The first new mainstream text in engineering mechanics in nearly
twenty years, Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics:
Statics and Dynamics will help your students learn this important
material efficiently and effectively.
FEATURES
v 5-Part Problem Solving Methodology used in all example problems.
A consistent problem-solving approach is used throughout. Each
example problem is solved using a "template" that helps students
effectively set up the problem and solve it correctly.
v Introduces Appropriate Use of Computational Tools. Fundamental
concepts are taught thoroughly, and the use of computational tools
is taught when appropriate.
v Appropriate Design Coverage. The authors have brought
engineering design considerations into selected problems where
applicable. This will sensitize students to the fact that engineering
problems do not have a single answer and many different routes lead
to a correct solution.
v Real World Examples, Problems, Applications, Photographs. All
the photographs, applications, examples are from the real world, so
that students will be able to identify circumstances that they encounter
in there daily lives.
v Online Homework features selected problems from the text and
algorithmically-generated problems that give the instructor a wide
array of homework assignment options.
