Description:

This book has its roots as lecture notes from Lowen Shearer’s senior-level

mechanical engineering course at Penn State in the 1970s with additions from Bohdan

Kulakowski’s and John Gardner’s experiences since the 1980s. As such, it reveals

those roots by beginning with lumped-parameter mechanical systems, engaging the

student on familiar ground. The following chapters, dealing with types of models

(Chapter 3) and analytical solutions (Chapter 4), have seen only minimal revisions

from the original version of this text, with the exception of modest changes in order of

presentation and clarification of notation. Chapters 5 and 6, dealing with numerical

solutions (simulations), were extensively rewritten for the second edition and further

updated for this edition. Although we made a decision to feature the industrystandard

software package (MATLAB) in this book (Appendices 3 and 4 are tutorials

onMATLAB and Simulink), the presentation was specifically designed to allow

other software tools to be used.
