Applied Dynamics

This modern study of engineering dynamics covers an array of topics, from basic principles to two- and three-dimensional motion, general kinematics and kinetics, analytical mechanics, vehicle motion, vibration response, and stability. By including examples from everyday life, the book makes concepts relatable and accessible. However, no effort is made to reduce rigor, as the text provides thorough coverage of the fundamental concepts of Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics, three-dimensional motion, Kane¿s equations, as well as the stability and response of dynamical systems.
