Title Multi-Body Dynamics: Vehicles, Mechanisms and Machines
Author Homer Rahnejat
Biblio 1998; 376 Pages; Hard Cover
Description Almost 95% of all dynamic problems relate to interactions of an assembly of parts or a cluster of objects. The overall dynamic response of multi-body systems are affected by their individual elements. In practical mechanisms these individual elements are constrained or restrained together in certain ways in order to achieve the desired functions when their assembly is subjected to applied forces and motions. This book opens by providing an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering dynamics and leads on to analysis techniques and problem solving approaches. In the earlier chapters, model analytic solutions have been provided for a variety of machines and mechanisms such as vehicular suspensions, tailgate systems, helicopter rotors and satellites to illustrate the principles involved. In later chapters state-of-the-art modeling and solution methods are presented to investigate complex dynamic phenomena in the behavior of automobiles and aircraft.
