This book presents a new approach to learning the dynamics of
particles and rigid bodies at an intermediate to advanced level.
There are three distinguishing features of this approach. First,
the primary emphasis is to obtain the equations of motion of
dynamical systems and to solve them numerically. As a consequence,
most of the analytical exercises and homework found in traditional
dynamics texts written at this level are replaced by MATLAB
(R)-based simulations. Second, extensive use is made of matrices.
Matrices are essential to define the important role that
constraints have on the behavior of dynamical systems. Matrices are
also key elements in many of the software tools that engineers use
to solve more complex and practical dynamics problems, such as in
the multi-body codes used for analyzing mechanical, aerospace, and
biomechanics systems. The third and feature is the use of a
combination of Newton-Euler and Lagrangian (analytical mechanics)
treatments for solving dynamics problems. Rather than discussing
these two treatments separately, Engineering Dynamics 2.0 uses a
geometrical approach that ties these two treatments together,
leading to a more transparent description of difficult concepts
such as "virtual" displacements. Some important highlights of the
book include: Extensive discussion of the role of constraints in
formulating and solving dynamics problems. Implementation of a
highly unified approach to dynamics in a simple context suitable
for a second-level course. Descriptions of non-linear phenomena
such as parametric resonances and chaotic behavior. A treatment of
both dynamic and static stability. Overviews of the numerical
methods (ordinary differential equation solvers, Newton-Raphson
method) needed to solve dynamics problems. An introduction to the
dynamics of deformable bodies and the use of finite difference and
finite element methods. Engineering Dynamics 2.0 provides a unique,
modern treatment of dynamics problems that is directly useful in
advanced engineering applications. It is a valuable resource for
undergraduate and graduate students and for practicing engineers.
