Engineering dynamics / Jerry Ginsberg.

By: Ginsberg, Jerry H, 1944- [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2008Description: 1 online resource (xiv, 726 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9780511805899 (ebook).Subject(s): DynamicsAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 620.1/04 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
Basic considerations -- Particle Kinematics -- Relative motion -- Kinematics of constrained rigid bodies -- Inertial effects for a rigid body -- Newton-Euler equations of motion -- Introduction to analytical mechanics -- Constrained generalized coordinates -- Alternative formulations -- Gyroscopic effects.
Summary: This text is a modern vector-oriented treatment of classical dynamics and its application to engineering problems. Based on Ginsberg's Advanced Engineering Dynamics, 2nd edition, it develops a broad spectrum of kinematical concepts, which provide the framework for formulations of kinetics principles following the Newton-Euler and analytical approaches. This fresh treatment features many expanded and new derivations, with an emphasis on both breadth and depth and a focus on making the subject accessible to individuals from a broad range of backgrounds. Numerous examples implement a consistent pedagogical structure. Many new homework problems were added and their variety increased.
