Intermediate Dynamics for Engineers by Oliver M O'reilly

Summary

This book fits two full-length courses in advanced engineering dynamics. It contains two overlapping tracks. During the first course a Newton-Euler approach is used, followed by a Lagrangian approach. The text includes structured chapter exercises as a study aid. Solutions can be performed in simulation using MATLAB® or Mathematica®.

Intermediate Dynamics for Engineers by Oliver M O'reilly

This book has sufficient material for two semester-length courses in intermediate engineering dynamics. For the first course, a Newton-Euler approach is used, followed by a Lagrangrian approach in the second. Using some ideas from differential geometry, the equivalence of these two approaches is illuminated throughout the text. In addition, this book contains comprehensive treatments of the kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. The subject matter is illuminated by numerous, highly structured examples and exercises featuring a wide range of applications and numerical simulations.
Oliver M. O'Reilly is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests lie in continuum mechanics and nonlinear dynamics, specifically in the dynamics of rigid bodies and particles, Cosserat and directed continua, dynamics of rods, history of mechanics, and vehicle dynamics. O'Reilly is the author of numerous archival publications and of Engineering Dynamics: A Primer.
