As engineering systems become increasingly interdisciplinary, knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems has become an asset within the field of engineering. Engineers should have a general facility with modeling of dynamic systems and determining their response. This book provides a framework f[...]

Takes an applications-based approach at teaching students to apply previously learned engineering principles while laying a foundation for engineering design. This text offers a review of the principles of dynamics so that terminology and notation are consistent and applies them to derive mathematic[...]
