Synopsis "Advanced Dynamics: Rigid Body, Multibody, and Aerospace Applications "
A thorough understanding of rigid body dynamics as it relates tomodern mechanical and aerospace systems requires engineers to bewell versed in a variety of disciplines. This book offers anall-encompassing view by interconnecting a multitude of key areasin the study of rigid body dynamics, including classical mechanics,spacecraft dynamics, and multibody dynamics. In a clear,straightforward style ideal for learners at anylevel, Advanced Dynamics builds a solidfundamental base by first providing an in-depth review ofkinematics and basic dynamics before ultimately moving forward totackle advanced subject areas such as rigid body and Lagrangiandynamics. In addition, Advanced Dynamics:Is the only book that bridges the gap between rigid body,multibody, and spacecraft dynamics for graduate students andspecialists in mechanical and aerospace engineeringContains coverage of special applications that highlight thedifferent aspects of dynamics and enhances understanding ofadvanced systems across all related disciplinesPresents material using the author's own theory ofdifferentiation in different coordinate frames, which allows forbetter understanding and application by students andprofessionalsBoth a refresher and a professional resource, AdvancedDynamics leads readers on a rewarding educational journeythat will allow them to expand the scope of their engineeringacumen as they apply a wide range of applications across manydifferent engineering disciplines.
