Introduction to Simulink: With Engineering Applications by Steven T. Karris Pdf

An introductory text on Simulink to provide a complete reference on the subject. Contains a plethora of examples with step-by-step solutions. Includes background information for students and working professionals who may not be familiar with certain topics.

This text is an introduction to Simulink ®, a companion application to MATLAB ®. It is written
for students at the undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as for the working professional.
Although some previous knowledge of MATLAB would be helpful, it is not absolutely necessary;
Appendix A of this text is an introduction to MATLAB to enable the reader to begin learning
both MATLAB and Simulink simultaneously, and to perform graphical computations and
programming.

Chapters 2 through 18 describe the blocks of all Simulink libraries. Their application is illustrated
with practical examples through Simulink models, some of which are supplemented with
MATLAB functions, commands, and statements. Some background information is provided for
lesser known definitions and topics. Chapters 1 and 19 contain several Simulink models to
illustrate various applied math and engineering applications. Appendix B is an introduction to
difference equations as they apply to discrete-time systems, and Appendix C introduces the reader
to random generation procedures.


This text supplements our Numerical Analysis with MATLAB and Spreadsheet Applications, ISBN
0−9709511−1−6. It is self-contained; the blocks of each library are described in an orderly fashion
that is consistent with Simulink’s documentation. This arrangement provides insight into how a
model is used and how its parts interact with each another.

Like MATLAB, Simulink can be used with both linear and nonlinear systems, which can be
modeled in continuous time, sample time, or a hybrid of these. Examples are provided in this text.
Most of the examples presented in this book can be implemented with the Student Versions of
MATLAB and Simulink. A few may require the full versions of these outstanding packages, and
these examples may be skipped. Some add−ons, known as Toolboxes and Blocksets can be
obtained from The MathWorks,TM Inc., 3 Apple Hill Drive, Natick, MA, 01760-2098, USA,
www.mathworks.com.

To get the most out of this outstanding application, it is highly recommended that this text is used
in conjunction with the MATLAB and Simulink User’s Guides. Other references are provided in
the reference section of this text.

The author wishes to express his gratitude to the staff of The MathWorksTM, the developers of
MATLAB® and Simulink®, especially to Ms. Courtney Esposito, for the encouragement and
unlimited support they have provided me with during the production of this text.
