Dynamics inEngineeringPracticeTenth EditionDara W. ChildsTexas A&M University, College Station, USA

Based on the author’s more than 40 years ofexperience teaching and developing courses indynamics, this text teaches students exactly howto solve engineering modeling and analysis prob-lems. It begins by establishing the premise thatmost “dynamics engineers” are developing andanalyzing models to predict motion and that thesubject of differential equations is the natural lan-guage for dynamics. From this starting point, theauthor presents mechanical vibration examples todemonstrate applications of f=ma and work-ener-gy principles. He also includes multiple real-world, worked out 1DOF and MDOF planardynamics examples.

Features

• Presents an ordered and logical set of procedures and alternatives for developingmodels and solutions for any planar dynamicor vibration example

• Uses repeated examples to demonstrate how models are analyzed via current computer approaches

• Includes the latest MATLAB® updates andother proven methods for modeling andanalysis

• Helps students ask the right questions to getthe most out of problems and optimize modeling of general dynamic systems
