Dynamics in Engineering Practice

Written by a renowned teacher, researcher, and professional consultant in applied dynamics, this book represents a revolutionary approach to modern engineering dynamics analysis-one you can assimilate quickly and easily to get immediate results. The eleventh edition includes a new chapter on Lagrangian Dynamics, and many new and revised examples and chapter problems. The book begins by establishing the premise that most dynamics engineers are developing and analyzing models to predict motion, and that the subject of differential equations is the natural language for dynamics.
