Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using Matlab and Simulink

This text provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of all the important aspects of modeling and simulating both physical and conceptual systems. Various real-life examples show how simulation plays a key role in understanding real-world systems. The author presents a step-by-step procedure for modeling using top-down, bottom-up, and middle-out approaches. He develops models for complex systems and reduces their order so they can be applied effectively in online applications. He also uses soft computing techniques for modeling nonlinear, ill-defined, and complex systems. The accompanying CD-ROM includes simulation code in MATLAB ® and Simulink ® .
