Sommario/riassunto

Dynamic models are essential for understanding the system dynamics. It is of importance because one mistake in experiments could cause accidents or damages, while one mistake in the simulation of dynamic models could cause nothing. Each system has a different dynamic model; hence, this book presents the designs of 10 dynamic models which are mainly classified in two ways. The first kind of dynamic



models are mainly obtained by the Euler Lagrange method and described by differential equations. The second kind of dynamic models are mainly obtained by the neural networks and described by difference equations. Topics and features: Contains the dynamic models of energy systems Derives dynamic models of energy systems by the Euler Lagrange method Includes the dynamic models of robotic systems Contains the dynamic models of biological systems Derives dynamic models of robotic systems by the Euler Lagrange method Obtains dynamic models of biological systems by neural networks This book is expected to be used primary by researchers and secondary by students and in the areas of control, robotics, energy, biological, mechanical, mechatronics, and computing systems.
