Applied Dynamics

Focusing on the principles of analytical mechanics, this book delves into applied dynamics, a vital area of engineering mechanics relevant to various fields such as mechanical, automotive, aerospace, and biomechanics. It emphasizes D'Alembert's principle and the Lagrangian formulation for effective problem-solving. The text covers multibody systems, finite element systems, and continuous systems, enabling students to grasp dynamic phenomena more thoroughly. Additionally, it assists engineers in validating computer code results by selecting models of varying complexity for vibration and stress analysis.
