Title: Design Analysis
First published: 1999
Description: This text provides an introduction to mathematical modeling of linear and nonlinear systems, with an emphasis on the solution of nonlinear design problems. While encouraging the use of the computer as a tool for modeling and analysis, the aim is to discuss the basic concepts underlying computer techniques and to seek analytical solutions. Numerous examples throughout the book demonstrate the application of specific modeling methods to a wide variety of real engineering systems.

End-of-chapter problems offer an added resource in learning to model and analyze nonlinear systems. Intended for senior or beginning graduate students, this text also serves as a helpful reference for engineers who can put into practice the mathematical modeling methods and solution techniques presented here.
Subjects: Mathematical models, Engineering design, Nonlinear systems, Mathematisches Modell, Systemes non lineaires, Nichtlineares System, Matematiske modeller, Systemteori, Conception technique, Modeles mathematiques, Industriedesign
