Abstract

An overview of system dynamics is given. It includes modelling, comparison with and correction of the mathematical model with the use of measurements, the treatment of uncertainties in modelling and testing, and problems arising in experimental analysis. This overview examines structural analysis from the point of view of system engineering in order to state the latest results, to mention the available modern tools, and to present some future developments. Additionally, the connections and interactions with various disciplines are exhibited in order to counteract narrow specialization and to allow the reader a glance into other fields.
