Introduction to Dynamics - Tapa blanda

“The authors have provided a well-structured and well-balanced text with the material presented in a clear way ... . the book will find a firm and prominent place in the advanced mechanical engineering curriculum of a large number of universities.” (H. Hogreve, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2017)

“This textbook is aimed at engineering students at a postgraduate level (i.e. masters students) and engineers in practice. ‘Introduction to Dynamics’ gives an intense and self-contained introduction to most aspects of classical mechanics especially from an engineer’s point of view which manifests itself in many quite entertaining and refreshing examples and problems.” (Wolfgang G. Hollik, zbMATH 1364.70003, 2017)

This concise textbook for students preferably of a postgraduate level, but also for engineers in practice, contains the basic kinematical and kinetic structures of dynamics together with carefully selected applications. The book is a condensed introduction to the fundamental laws of kinematics and kinetics, on the most important principles of mechanics and presents the equations of motion in the form of Lagrange and Newton-Euler. Selected problems of linear and nonlinear dynamics are treated, as well as problems of vibration formation. The presented selection of topics gives a useful basis for stepping into more advanced problems of dynamics. The contents of this book represent the result of a regularly revised course, which has been and still is given for masters students at the Technische Universität München.
