Applied Dynamics

""Overall, this is an excellent book and highly recommended. The coverage of the topics is wide-ranging, which makes it suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses on dynamics. What makes this book truly different from the rest are the applications of the dynamics principles to real-world systems, such as vibrating systems and vehicles.""-Ilhan Tuzcu, California State University, Sacramento, USA""The combination of applications with theory without compromising either one is excellently done! Also, the unified and fresh approach to dynamics is excellent. ...This book is like a breath of. Read more... Abstract: ""Overall, this is an excellent book and highly recommended.
