Building up from first principles and simple scenarios, this comprehensive introduction to rigid body dynamics gradually introduces readers to tools to address involved real-world problems, and cutting-edge research topics. Using a unique blend of conceptual, theoretical and practical approaches, concepts are developed and rigorously applied to practical examples in a consistent and understandable way. It includes discussion of real-world applications including robotics and vehicle dynamics, and over 40 thought-provoking fully worked examples to cement readers' understanding. Providing a wealth of resources allowing readers to confidently self-assess – including over 100 problems with solutions, over 400 high quality multiple choice questions, and end-of-chapter puzzles dealing with everyday situations – this is an ideal companion for undergraduate students in aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering.
A rigorous analysis and description of general motion in mechanical systems, which includes over 400 figures illustrating every concept, and a large collection of useful exercises. Ideal for students studying mechanical engineering, and as a reference for graduate students and researchers.
Building from principles to cutting-edge research, this introduction to rigid body dynamics includes over 100 problems with solutions.
"Master the conceptual, theoretical and practical aspects of kinematics with this exhaustive text, which provides a rigorous analysis and description of general motion in mechanical systems, with numerous examples from spinning tops to wheel ground-vehicles. Over 400 figures illustrate the main ideas and provide a geometrical interpretation and a deeper understanding of concepts, and exercises and problems throughout the text provide additional hands-on practice. Ideal for students taking courses on rigid body kinematics, and an invaluable reference for researchers"--
