Student-friendly approach Intermediate Dynamics by Patrick Hamill

Student-friendly approach Intermediate Dynamics by Patrick Hamill

Intended for the two-semester, upper division undergraduate Classical Mechanics course, Intermediate Dynamics provides a student-friendly approach. The text begins with an optional review of elementary physical concepts and continues to an in-depth study of mechanics. Each chapter includes numerous accessible exercises that help students review and understand key material while rigorous end-of-chapter problems challenge students to find solutions based on concepts discussed in the chapter. Additional computer problems are offered at the end of each chapter for those who would like to utilize numerical techniques.

System Dynamics for Engineering Students: Concepts and Applications by Nicolae Lobontiu

System Dynamics for Engineering Students: Concepts and Applications by Nicolae Lobontiu


"This is without doubt a text that can be used with relative ease by instructors and students alike, and that would likely serve as a useful and practical reference for many years after graduation, especially given its systematic approach to the essential physical modeling elements. The content is nicely laid out with good quality illustrations and clean lines and achieves an appropriate balance between theoretical derivations and examples."

A Comprehensive Introduction Engineering Dynamics by N. Jeremy Kasdin, Derek A. Paley



"There are few courses in the engineering curriculum that cause students more difficulty than rigid-body dynamics. By laying out the foundations of the subject with precision and clarity through unambiguous notation and rigorous definitions, Engineering Dynamics goes a long way toward remedying this situation. Numerous examples with motivating applications demonstrate the underlying ideas and solution techniques. This landmark text stands apart in the field, and will be welcomed by students and instructors alike."

Vehicle Dynamics: Theory and Application by Reza N. Jazar

Vehicle Dynamics: Theory and Application by Reza N. Jazar

Vehicle Dynamics: Theory and Application is written as a textbook for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical engineering. It provides both fundamental and advanced topics on handling, ride, components, and behavior of vehicles. Coverage includes front, rear, and four wheel steering systems, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of different steering schemes. Individual sections devoted to handling, ride, and components will be beneficial to students as future automotive designers. This book includes a detailed review of practical design considerations and a number of practical examples and exercises.

Engineering Mechanics Statics and Dynamics, 4th Edition by Anthony M Bedford, Wallace Fowler

Engineering Mechanics Statics and Dynamics, 4th Edition by Anthony M Bedford, Wallace Fowler
For core introductory statics courses found in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, or engineering mechanics departments. While teaching the basic principles of mechanics in an example-driven format, this innovative text takes a critical thinking approach to help introductory students learn to think like engineers. Compelling photorealistic art, and a robust photograph program prompt students to visualize and think critically about engineering situations while Optional Design Examples and Computational Examples expose students to important ABET topics. This text is supported by the brand new OneKey course management system that enables instructors to post solutions, manage homework, and offer students test/quiz preparation and more via a free class Web site.

Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion by Benson H. Tongue

Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion by Benson H. Tongue

The second edition provides engineers with a conceptual understanding of how dynamics is applied in the field. It builds their problem-solving skills. New problems with a wider variety of difficulty levels and applications have been added. An online problem-solving tool is available to reinforce how to find solutions. New images are included to add a visual element to the material. These show the link between an actual system and a modeled/analyzed system. Engineers will also benefit from the numerous new worked problems, algorithmic problems, and multi-part GO problems.
