Evolved from more than three decades of teaching upper-level engineering courses, Dynamics of Mechanical Systems enables readers to obtain and refine skills ranging from the ability to perform insightful hand analyses to developing algorithms for numerical and computer analyses. Focusing on the fundamental procedures behind dynamic analyses, the authors take a vector-oriented approach and lead readers methodically from simple concepts and systems through the analysis of complex robotic systems and biosystems. Ultimately, this book prepares readers to solve real-world problems and make future advances in mechanisms, manipulators, and robotics.
