Features: This book is one of the advanced engineering mechanics textbooks in the series, written for postgraduate students of engineering and senior undergraduate students of mechanics. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians. The book is divided into 6 chapters to elaborate on its theme: the establishment, analysis, and application of mechanical and mathematical models of the motion of material objects in nature and engineering. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss the dynamics of free and constrained point systems, explaining the theoretical foundation of dynamics. Chapters 3 to 6 provide introductory introductions to three important branches of applied dynamics theory, namely the dynamics of rigid bodies and rigid body systems, vibration problems in engineering, and the dynamics of controlled copy systems.
