Authors:
- Includes many Matlab numerical simulations and animations that bring the behavior of dynamic systems "alive" for the reader
- Presents a unified matrix-based approach to dynamics suitable for a second-level course that provides a foundation for higher level studies and the use of dynamics in engineering practice
- Dedicated chapters on stability and vibrations explain the behavior seen in common dynamical systems
- Emphasizes the role of constraints in solving dynamics problems--providing a better understanding of the connection between Newton-Euler methods and Analytical Dynamics
- Introduces readers to finite differences and finite elements of deformable bodies, to be used as a basis for exploring and using these methods in advanced applications

About this book
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 elementmethods.
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.
