Samenvatting:" Provides a comprehensive treatment of both the theoretical and appliedaspects of mechanical system dynamics" Uses Kane's methods for studying large, complex systems to preparestudents for analyzing large mechanical systems using modern analytic andcomputational procedures" Includes exercises, problems, and references in each chapter" Presents and discusses applications in each chapter" Requires only an elementary background in physics, mathematics, andmechanicsA solutions manual is available with qualifying courseadoptions.Mechanical systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated andcontinually require greater precision, improved reliability, and extendedlife. To meet the demand for advanced mechanisms and systems, present andfuture engineers must understand not only the fundamental mechanicalcomponents, but also the principles of vibrations, stability, and balanceand the use of Newton's laws, Lagrange's equations, and Kane's methods.Dynamics of Mechanical Systems provides a vehicle for mastering all ofthis. Focusing on the fundamental procedures behind dynamic analyses, theauthors take a vector-oriented approach and lead readers methodicallyfrom simple concepts and systems through the analysis of complex roboticand bio-systems. A careful presentation that balances theory, methods,and applications gives readers a working knowledge of configurationgraphs, Euler parameters, partial velocities and partial angularvelocities, generalized speeds and forces, lower body arrays, and Kane'sequations.Evolving from more than three decades of teaching upper-level engineeringcourses, Dynamics of Mechanical Systems enables readers to obtain andrefine skills ranging from the ability to perform insightful handanalyses to developing algorithms for numerical/computer analyses.Ultimately, it prepares them to solve real-world problems and make futureadvances in mechanisms, manipulators, and robotics.
