Description
Observing that most books on engineering dynamics left students lacking and failing to grasp the general nature of dynamics in engineering practice, the authors of Dynamics in Engineering Practice, Eleventh Edition focused their efforts on remedying the problem. This text shows readers how to develop and analyze models to predict motion. While esta

"It is easy to identify students who learned dynamics from (previous editions) of this book.... They are confident, they approach new problems based on fundamental principles, they are not afraid of dynamics. The integrated, differential equations & fundamental principles based approach removes the dread from dynamics! No longer is there fear an uncertainty of picking the correct equation & guessing the correct special case... every problem can be methodically approached from the same few principles and conquered."-James R Morgan, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, NSW, Australia "It is easy to identify students who learned dynamics from (previous editions) of this book....

Dr. Dara Childs is professor of mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in College Station, Texas. He has been director of the TAMU Turbomachinery Laboratory since 1984. He has received several best-paper awards, is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) life fellow, and received the ASME Henry R. Worthington medal for outstanding contributions in pumping machinery. He is the author of many conference and journal papers plus two prior books. Dr. Childs has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in dynamics and vibrations since 1968: Colorado State University (1968-1971), University of Louisville (1971-1980), TAMU (1980-present).
Andrew P. Conkey
received his PhD from Texas A&M University (TAMU) in 2007, where his research was in the application of the fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer to machinery/vibration measurements. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from TAMU-Kingsville. He has over 16 years of teaching experience, having taught at TAMU-Kingsville, TAMU-College Station, TAMU-Qatar, and TAMU-Corpus Christi. In addition to teaching, he has worked for a refinery, a fiber-optic sensor company, and an engineering consulting firm.
