Description
Fully revised and updated, the new edition of Engineering Dynamics provides a comprehensive, self-contained and accessible treatment of classical dynamics. All chapters have been reworked to enhance student understanding, and new features include a stronger emphasis on computational methods, including rich examples using both Matlab and Python; new capstone computational examples extend student understanding, including modelling the flight of a rocket and the unsteady rolling of a disk. The coverage of Lagrange's equations is improved, spanning simple systems and systems relevant to engineers. It provides students with clear, systematic methods for solving problems in dynamics, demonstrates how to solve equations of motion numerically, and explains all mathematical operators. Including over 150 real-world examples to motivate student learning, over 400 homework problems, and accompanied online by Matlab and Python repositories and supplemental material, the new edition of this classic is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering.

Jerry H. Ginsberg is an Emeritus Professor of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and was the inaugural Woodruff Chair in Mechanical Systems. His activities include seminal contributions in nonlinear dynamics, shell vibrations, dynamic stability of pipes, nonlinear acoustics, shock response of submerged structures, acoustic-structure interaction, and experimental modal analysis. Among his awards are the Per Bruel Gold Medal from The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); the Trent-Crede Silver Medal and the Rossing Prize for Acoustics Education from Acoustical Society and America Awards (ASA); the Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator in Mechanics Education Award from American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and the Georgia Institute of Technology Professor of the Year in 1994. His other books include Advanced Engineering Dynamics (1999), Statics and Dynamics (1995) and Structural Vibrations (2001). He is a Fellow of the ASA and ASME.
