Klappentext

Designed for sophomores and juniors in a mechanical/aerospace engineering program, this sophisticated introduction presents fundamental concepts and theory of dynamics and engineering mechanics. It dispenses with advanced theory in favor of applications and practical instruction. Unlike other introductory dynamics textbooks, this work covers an integrated range of dynamics areas, with extensive modeling through MATLAB® and Simulink® examples. A complete solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoptions, and computer code can be accessed from a companion website.
