Engineering Computations and Modeling in MATLAB/Simulink provides a broad overview of The MathWorks’ MATLAB/Simulink/GUIDE development and modeling environment. This textbook shows how to use these software tools effectively in a variety of engineering applications, including modeling real-world dynamic systems.
Concepts Discussed:
- Major concepts of MATLAB, Symbolic Math Toolbox, Simulink, and GUIDE
- Development of effective foolproof M-file scripts and functions
- Use of the 2D and 3D plotting functions and handle graphics
- Creation of interactive user interfaces and animations
- Presentation of numerical methods, coded in MATLAB functions
- Accuracy of digital computations
Special Features:
- Numerous examples
- Derivation of fundamental formulas using symbolic math computations
- Dynamic systems modeling in MATLAB and Simulink
- Development of user-friendly standalone GUIs
- Introduction of aerospace engineering tools
This book is used as a textbook by undergraduate and graduate students taking introductory and advanced courses in applied programming, and also as a reference for working professionals using MATLAB/Simulink.
