There are three distinguishing features of this approach. First, the primary emphasis is to obtain the equations of motion of dynamical systems and to solve them numerically. As a consequence, most of the analytical exercises and homework found in traditional dynamics texts written at this level are replaced by MATLAB®-based simulations. Second, extensive use is made of matrices. Matrices are essential to define the important role that constraints have on the behavior of dynamical systems. Matrices are also key elements in many of the software tools that engineers use to solve more complex and practical dynamics problems, such as in the multi-body codes used for analyzing mechanical, aerospace, and biomechanics systems. The third and feature is the use of a combination of Newton-Euler and Lagrangian (analytical mechanics) treatments for solving dynamics problems. Rather than discussing these two treatments separately, \u003ci\u003eEngineering Dynamics 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e uses a geometrical approach that ties these two treatments together, leading to a more transparent description of difficult concepts such as \"virtual\" displacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSome important highlights of the book include: \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive discussion of the role of constraints in formulating and solving dynamics problems.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementation of a highly unified approach to dynamics in a simple context suitable for a second-level course.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescriptions of non-linear phenomena such as parametric resonances and chaotic behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA treatment of both dynamic and static stability.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverviews of the numerical methods (ordinary differential equation solvers, Newton-Raphson method) needed to solve dynamics problems.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to the dynamics of deformable bodies and the use of finite difference and finite elementmethods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eEngineering Dynamics 2.0 \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a unique, modern treatment of dynamics problems that is directly useful in advanced engineering applications.
