"This is without doubt a text that can be used with relative ease by instructors and students alike, and that would likely serve as a useful and practical reference for many years after graduation, especially given its systematic approach to the essential physical modeling elements. The content is nicely laid out with good quality illustrations and clean lines and achieves an appropriate balance between theoretical derivations and examples."
System Dynamics for Engineering Students: Concepts and Applications by Nicolae Lobontiu Overview
Nicolae Lobontiu, Ph.D is associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage. His teaching background has run the gamut of mechanical engineering, including: system dynamics, controls, instrumentation and measurement, mechanics of materials, dynamics, vibrations, finite element analysis, boundary element analysis, and thermal system design. Professor Lobontiu's research interests for the last decade have focused on compliant mechanisms (mechanical devices which move by elastic deformation of their flexible joints) and micro/nano electromechanical systems. He has authored four books and 20 peer-reviewed journal papers on the aforementioned research topics.
System Dynamics for Engineering Students: Concepts and Applications by Nicolae Lobontiu Review
This book fills the gap between an entry level 100 level course for engineering students and the 400 or masters level. The Alaska based author does a great job filling this book cover to cover with well organized text, examples and illustrations. Additionally online content is available at booksite.academicpress.com/lobontiu/student.phpThis is recommended for current engineering students or those graduated who want a practical desk reference.
