"The authors demonstrate step by step how to: model a wide range of mechatronic systems using bond graphs; experiment with subsystem models to verify or disprove modeling decisions; extract system characteristics and predict system behaviors; translate graphical models into complex mathematical simulations; and combine bond graph modeling with state-of-the-art software simulation tools.".

"System Dynamics, Third Edition is a resource for practicing engineers as well as students of mechanical, electrical, aeronautical, and chemical engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
