Building on the basic course in dynamics, Advanced Dynamics deals with the understanding of the dynamic behaviour of complex engineering structures, mechanisms and components, a necessity if one wants to comprehend the modern technical advancements in areas such as robotics, multibody spacecraft, altitude control and the design of complex mechanical devices in industry. While the basic dynamics course deals with the simple and easily comprehensive ideas of Newtonian dynamics based on physical space and Newton’s laws of motion; this book involves abstract concepts such as virtual displacements, virtual work, generalized coordinates and variation principles.
