TextPublication details: New york Cambridge University Press c2013 Edition: Fourth editionDescription: xii, 384 pages : illustrations ; 26 cmISBN: 9781107042650 (hardback)Subject(s): SHABANA,AHMED A | Physics - Dynamics | Multibody systems | Kinematics | Dynamics ;Multibody Systems; KinematicsDDC classification: 531/.113 Summary: "This enhanced fourth edition of Dynamics of Multibody Systems includes an additional chapter that provides explanations of some of the fundamental issues addressed in the book, as well as new detailed derivations of some important problems. Many common mechanisms such as automobiles, space structures, robots, and micromachines have mechanical and structural systems that consist of interconnected rigid and deformable components. The dynamics of these large-scale multibody systems are highly nonlinear, presenting complex problems that in most cases can only be solved with computer-based techniques. The book begins with a review of the basic ideas of kinematics and the dynamics of rigid and deformable bodies before moving on to more advanced topics and computer implementation. The book's wealth of examples and practical applications will be useful to graduate students, researchers, and practising engineers working on a wide variety of flexible multibody systems"--Summary: "The fourth edition of Dynamics of Multibody Systems, which introduces multibody dynamics with an emphasis on flexible body dynamics, includes a new chapter and detailed derivations of some important equations.
