"The book is a classical and detailed introduction to applied engineering dynamics and it is also a nice treatise on the analytical mechanics—holonomic and nonholonomic mechanical systems, especially kinematics and dynamics of the rigid bodies and vehicle dynamics. … useful tool for undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and researchers in the area of theoretical and applied mechanics and mechanical engineering. … a valuable addition to this field and probably will serve as a reference for a long time."
—Journal of Geometry and Symmetry in Physics, 39, 2015
"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 fresh air…"
—Sorin Siegler, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
"This text has a thorough coverage of both introductory and advanced topics in dynamics while focusing on topics useful for solving practical problems, including many associated with the design of ground-based vehicles."
—James W. Kamman, Western Michigan University
"The book presentation is very practical and the text flows nicely. Easy to read with a physically pleasing layout of text and figures. I really appreciate the appearance of the text!!!! —- after all, this is an ENGINEERING book!!!! The numerous examples are very helpful to the student."
—Robert M. Sexton, Associate Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University
