The text presents engineering mechanics as a unified field, emphasizing dynamics but integrating topics from other disciplines, including design and the humanities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book begins with a history of mechanics, suitable for an undergraduate overview. Subsequent chapters cover such topics as three-dimensional kinematics; the direct approach, also known as vectorial mechanics or the momentum approach; the indirect approach, also called lagrangian dynamics or variational dynamics; an expansion of the momentum and lagrangian formulations to extended bodies; lumped-parameter electrical and electromagnetic devices; and equations of motion for one-dimensional continuum models. The book is noteworthy in covering both lagrangian dynamics and vibration analysis. The principles covered are relatively few and easy to articulate; the examples are rich and broad. Summary tables, often in the form of flowcharts, appear throughout. End-of-chapter problems begin at an elementary level and become increasingly difficult. Appendixes provide theoretical and mathematical support for the main text.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45268924203159,"sku":"9780262039710","price":5505.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262039710.webp?v=1769236809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-applied-dynamics-9780262039710","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
