Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sadly the reviewer below DO not seem to be technically competent enough to understand that the theory of multi-body dynamics is actually the implementation as multibody formulations are an approach suitable for computational software such as Matlab (with the help of its symbolic toolbox).
There are some small typos, but honestly they do not matter much and are not more then other texts. I was compelled to write a review as I realized the immense value that this book offers for beginners to learn advanced engineering dynamics involving complex multibody systems, suitable for self study. All you need a paper and pen as well as matlab etc to implement your multibody systems of equation, as books leads you from beginning to advanced level required for research or industry.
Now about the BOOK.
This book outline the most systematic approach to model complex multibody systems from kinematics, kinetics to flexible multibody systems in an amazingly comprehensive way. Honestly it is much more comprehensive then Shabana's book and its use of arrays to represent kinematics of open/closed looped multibody system is readily suitable for computational implementations.
Here what the book does.
It begins with where the traditional "dynamics of mechanical systems" such as that covered by Dr. Ginsberg's book. It then outlines a systematic process to represent kinematic of complex multibody systems. Later on rigorous derivation equations of motion using various approaches, along with full chapter to derive generalized forces and a full chapter to represent constraints follows. What's more, the chapter on finite element modeling of flexible multibodies is by far the most comprehensive that there is. Finally a chapters on boundary element method and on modeling of multibody systems involving "flexible terminal ends" is just as useful (say for robotics).
My aim was to learn and to be able to model arbitrary complex helicopter rotor systems using multibody dynamics. This book provided the perfect foundational engineering dynamics knowledge.
I am in no way associated with author (I don't even know him). This book is ideal for self study (as I did). I hope this review helps as this book is immensely valuable.
