Description

Fully revised and updated, the new edition of Engineering Dynamics provides a comprehensive, self-contained and accessible treatment of classical dynamics. All chapters have been reworked to enhance student understanding, and new features include a stronger emphasis on computational methods, including rich examples using both Matlab and Python; new capstone computational examples extend student understanding, including modelling the flight of a rocket and the unsteady rolling of a disk. The coverage of Lagrange's equations is improved, spanning simple systems and systems relevant to engineers. It provides students with clear, systematic methods for solving problems in dynamics, demonstrates how to solve equations of motion numerically, and explains all mathematical operators. Including over 150 real-world examples to motivate student learning, over 400 homework problems, and accompanied online by Matlab and Python repositories and supplemental material, the new edition of this classic is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering.
