Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies

A Systematic Approach

Beschreibung

Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies is ideal for undergraduates who want a systematic and rigorous approach to the subject of particle and rigid body dynamics. Raos rigorous presentation of concepts illuminates the connection between the theory and its application, a connection that is further enhanced through his step-by-step vector mechanics approach to solving problems. The work features a great range of examples reinforced by numerous problems for student solution. An instructors Solutions Manual is available. This book is a significant departure from existing books on undergraduate engineering dynamics.

Autor

Anil V. Rao earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering and A.B. in mathematics from Cornell University, his M.S.E. in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University. After earning his Ph.D., Dr Rao joined The Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, California, where he was involved in mission support for U.S. Air Force launch vehicle programs and trajectory optimization software development. Subsequently, Dr Rao joined The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc., in Cambridge, Massachusetts where he has been involved in numerous projects related to trajectory optimization, guidance, and navigation of aerospace vehicles. Concurrently, for the past several years Dr Rao has been an Adjunct Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Boston University where he has taught the core undergraduate engineering dynamics course. Since joining BU, Dr Rao has been voted AIAA/ASME Faculty Member of the Year Award by the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department and has been voted Boston University College of Engineering Professor of the Year for outstanding teaching.
