Jerry GinsbergCambridge University PressEdition: Illustrated, 2/28/2008EAN 9780521883030, ISBN10: 0521883032Hardcover, 742 pages, 25.4 x 17.8 x 4 cmLanguage: EnglishOriginally published in EnglishThis text is a modern vector-oriented treatment of classical dynamics and its application to engineering problems. Based on Ginsberg's Advanced Engineering Dynamics, 2nd edition, it develops a broad spectrum of kinematical concepts, which provide the framework for formulations of kinetics principles following the Newton-Euler and analytical approaches. This fresh treatment features many expanded and new derivations, with an emphasis on both breadth and depth and a focus on making the subject accessible to individuals from a broad range of backgrounds. Numerous examples implement a consistent pedagogical structure. Many new homework problems were added and their variety increased.Preface1. Basic considerations2. Particle kinematics3.
