Engineering Dynamics

By Jerry Ginsberg

This text is a modern vector-oriented treatment of classical dynamics and its application to engineering problems. Based on Ginsberg's Advanced Engineering Dynamics, 2nd edition, it develops a broad spectrum of kinematical concepts, which provide the framework for formulations of kinetics principles following the Newton-Euler and analytical approaches. This fresh treatment features many expanded and new derivations, with an emphasis on both breadth and depth and a focus on making the subject accessible to individuals from a broad range of backgrounds. Numerous examples implement a consistent pedagogical structure. Many new homework problems were added and their variety increased.

Great BOOK

This Book is great. I also have another book written by Dr. Ginsberg of the Vibration. Also very good. highly recommended

Advanced dynamics meant for the engineer!

This book was used by us for a two quarter course. The book starts off with newtonian dynamics and introduces analytical mechanics in the later chapters. The book has sufficient number of solved examples with interesting exercise problems (Answers provided for odd numbered problems). The author does a great job explaining newtonian dynamics. The explanations are clear, terse and to the point. But I feel the analytical mechanics part could have been dealt in a much more better way. This is by far the best book I have read on this topic.
