Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion

by Benson H. Tongue, Sheri D. Sheppard

Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion, by Benson H. Tongue of University of California-Berkeley, and Sheri D. Sheppard of Stanford University, offers a student-focused approach to Dynamics. With a strong emphasis on drawing free body diagrams and the associated inertial response diagrams, an integrated use of computation, use of a structured problem-solving methodology, inclusion of real-world case studies, and robust pedagogy coupled with a truly engaging writing style, reviewers alike have praised this new Dynamics text. Additionally, this first edition has benefited from a comprehensive and thorough accuracy check by eight experienced Dynamics professors, and has been reviewed by more than 200 Statics and Dynamics professors.
The authors demonstrate to students how to map their understanding to more realistic situations, enabling them to more effectively break down complex problems into manageable parts.

This class should’ve been very easy I felt I understood the material if it weren’t for my prof being a dh making the year harder than needed.
