Books by Ahmed A. Shabana

This fully revised and updated third edition covers the physical and mathematical fundamentals of vibration analysis, including single degree of freedom, multi-degree of freedom, and continuous systems. A new chapter on special topics that include motion control, impact dynamics, and nonlinear dynamics is added to the new edition.

Presents computational multibody system formulations that can be used to develop computer models for complex railroad vehicle systems (RVSs). Focusing on nonlinear formulations, this book explains the limitations of linearized formulations that are frequently used in analysis. It addresses and solves geometric problems that are specific to RVSs.
