Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics
An undergraduate textbook in
mechanics that incorporates Mathematica to explore the basis of
engineering
design. Focuses on conceptually understanding mechanics and
the
transition
from calculations to design concepts. The reader progresses from modeling
free-body diagrams through writing the equations of motion and the
constraint equations--and finally uses Mathematica to help solve
numerical
problems and investigate design parameters. The text enables the reader to
solve
problems
for every angle or dimension.
Chapters include:
Preface | Kinetics of a Particle | Kinetics
of Particles | Work--Energy and Impulse--Momentum First Integrals of
Motion | System of Particles | Kinematics of Rigid Bodies | Dynamics of
Rigid Bodies in Plane Motion | Power, Work, Energy, Impulse, and Momentum
of
a Rigid Body | Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Rigid Bodies | Vibration |
Appendix A: Mass Moment of Inertia | Appendix B: Vector Calculus and
Ordinary Differential Equations | Dynamics Index Dictionary | Answers to
Odd-Numbered Problems
Engineering Mechanics: Statics
Undergraduate text that
focuses on the conceptual understanding of the
mechanics of rigid bodies at
rest or moving at constant velocity.
Mathematica is used to model the
concepts of forces and moments. Vector
manipulations and matrix notation in
statics are introduced and solved with
Mathematica. Includes approximately
one thousand problems and 95 worked sample
problems.
Chapters include:
Introduction | Vectors and
Force Systems Acting on a Particle | Rigid Bodies: Equivalent Force
Systems
| Distributed Forces: Centroids and Center of Gravity | Equilibrium of
Rigid
Bodies | Analysis of Structures | Internal Forces in Structural Members |
Friction | Moments of Inertia | Virtual Work | Appendix | Glossary |
Problem
Statements | Index
