Inhaltsangabe

The Practice of Engineering Dynamics is a textbook that takes a systematic approach to understanding dynamic analysis of mechanical systems. It comprehensively covers dynamic analysis of systems from equilibrium states to non-linear simulations and presents frequency analysis of experimental data. It divides the practice of engineering dynamics into three parts: Part 1 - Modelling: Deriving Equations of Motion; Part 2 - Simulation: Using the Equations of Motion; and Part 3- Experimental Frequency Domain Analysis. This approach fulfils the need to be able to derive the equations governing the motion of a system, to then use the equations to provide useful design information, and finally to be able to analyze experimental data measured on dynamic systems.

The Practice of Engineering Dynamics includes end of chapter exercises and is accompanied by a website hosting a solutions manual.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

DR. RONALD J. ANDERSON is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen's University at Kingston, Canada. He received his B.Sc.(Eng) from the University of Alberta in 1973, his M.Sc.(Eng) from Queen's University in 1974, and his Ph.D. from Queen's University in 1977. His doctoral research was in the field of road vehicle dynamics. From 1977 to 1979, he was a Defence Scientist with the Defence Research Establishment Atlantic where he was engaged in research on the dynamics of novel ships. From 1979 to 1981 he was Senior Dynamicist with the Urban Transportation Development Corporation where he worked on rail vehicle dynamics, particularly suspension design for steerable rail vehicles. He joined Queen's University in 1981 and, while conducting research into vehicle dynamics and multibody dynamics, has been teaching undergraduate courses on dynamics and vibrations and postgraduate courses on advanced dynamics and engineering analysis. Dr. Anderson has been the recipient of several departmental and faculty-wide teaching awards. He has also served the University in the academic administrative roles of Head of Department, Associate Dean (Research), and Dean of Graduate Studies.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A textbook on dynamic analysis of mechanical systems, providing a unique systematic approach to enable deeper understanding of the subject

The Practice of Engineering Dynamics provides a systematic development of the theory and methods used for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems. Covering every essential aspect of engineering dynamics in one volume, this textbook helps readers understand how to derive the equations governing the motion of a system, use the equations to provide useful design information, and analyze experimental data measured on dynamic systems.

Divided into three parts Modeling, Simulation, and Experimental Frequency Domain Analysis the textbook's distinctive approach to the subject highlights the relationships between the topics, rather than viewing them as different fields of study. A clear, logical progression of analysis methods are applied to the governing equations: from equilibrium solutions, to analyzing the stability of equilibrium states, to frequency domain analysis, to time domain solutions. Written by a teacher and researcher with more than forty years of experience in the field, this textbook:

• Provides comprehensive coverage of dynamic analysis of mechanical systems
• Offers a complete presentation of frequency analysis of experimental data
• Covers analysis methods rarely covered in introductory texts, such as time domain solutions
• Contains end-of-chapter exercises and numerous line drawings, figures, and tables
• Features full solutions for sample dynamic systems, animations, and supplemental resources via a companion website
• Includes an appendix of 23 mechanical systems for use in all chapter exercises

The Practice of Engineering Dynamics is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate students and postgraduate students in Mechanical Engineering, as well as a valuable reference for practicing mechanical engineers in industry.
