Dynamics: Analysis And Design Of Systems In Motion.

"Your coursework in engineering mechanics helps you develop key analytical skills that you will rely on throughout your subsequent coursework and career. That's why Tongue and Sheppard's Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion, and their accompanying volume, Statics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Equilibrium, focus on helping you build the skills and knowledge you need to succeed." "The authors continuously emphasize the importance of communicating solutions through graphics. They focus on drawing correct free-body diagrams and inertial-response diagrams through an innovative illustration program." "Sheppard and Tongue introduce a consistent analysis procedure early in the text, and use it throughout, including all worked examples. This problem-solving methodology helps you develop the skills needed to apply these principles systematically in your analysis of mechanics problems." Innovative real-world case studies and system analysis exercises expose you to the complexities of engineered systems. The text shows how to simplify and model the system to perform analysis, and introduces some basic design issues through exercises, inviting you to suggest a better way to solve the problem.
