Books by Clarence W. de Silva

This book incorporates the fundamentals into analytical methods, modeling approaches, numerical methods, experimental procedures, and design techniques throughout. Concepts, approaches, and tools are demonstrated through a large number of examples and case studies. It is an outgrowth of the author's experience in teaching courses in mechanics of materials, statics, dynamics, modeling, vibration, instrumentation, testing, design, and control. The practical considerations, design issues, engineering techniques, and applications, and the simplified snapshot-style presentation of advanced theory and concepts, make this a useful reference for professionals as well.

A reference for modeling, analyzing, simulating, measuring, monitoring, testing, controlling, and designing for vibration in engineering systems. It offers problems and examples, a chapter on human response to vibration, and the inclusion of LabVIEW , SIMULINK[registered], and MATLAB[registered] software tools.

Discusses such core subjects as dynamic system modeling, electrical components and analysis, mechanical components and analysis, robotics, drives and actuators, control systems, digital processing and hardware, communication and interfacing, software tools, design, and prototyping.
