Authors:
Streamlines the treatment of rigid body motions in one-, two, or three-dimensional spaces within an unified mathematical framework supported with vector, matrix, and quaternion operations;
Maximizes reader understanding of analysis of rotational kinematics and dynamics;
Explains theoretical concepts through examples taken from across engineering disciplines and provides linkages to applications and more advanced courses (e.g. industrial robotics);
Features updated treatments of concepts in all chapters and case studies.

About this book
The textbook retains its comprehensiveness in coverage and compactness in size, which make it easily accessible to the readers from multidisciplinary areas who want to grasp the key concepts of rigid body mechanics which are usually scattered in multiple volumes of traditional textbooks. Theoretical concepts are explained through examples taken from across engineering disciplines and links to applications and more advanced courses (e.g. industrial robotics) are provided.
Ideal for students and practitioners, this book provides readers with a clear path to understanding rigid body mechanics and its significance in numerous sub-fields of mechanical engineering and related areas.
