Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, SI Edition

by Andrew Pytel, Jaan Kiusalaas

Readers gain a solid understanding of Newtonian dynamics and its application to real-world problems with Pytel/Kiusalaas' ENGINEERING MECHANICS: DYNAMICS, 4E. This edition clearly introduces critical concepts using learning features that connect real problems and examples with the fundamentals of engineering mechanics. Readers learn how to effectively analyze problems before substituting numbers into formulas. This skill prepares readers to encounter real life problems that do not always fit into standard formulas. The book begins with the analysis of particle dynamics, before considering the motion of rigid-bodies. The book discusses in detail the three fundamental methods of problem solution: force-mass-acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum, including the use of numerical methods.
