Dynamics Theory and Application of Kane’s Method

Carlos M. Roithmayr NASA-Langley Research Center, Virginia

Dewey H. Hodges Georgia Institute of Technology

This is a textbook for advanced students in engineering or physics, as well as a reference for professionals interested in deriving equations that govern the motions of mechanical systems. It presents Kane’s method, which is suited for dealing with multibody systems, and also analyzes the dynamics of complex spacecraft and robotic devices.

‘Dynamics: Theory and Application of Kane’s Method is a timely update of the now classical book by Kane and Levinson by two authors, collectively with many decades of experience stretching across academia and government laboratories. While providing coverage of a broader class of problems and of recent advances in the field, the rigor and clarity of the original text is retained. This new book will be welcomed by many working on dynamics and control of complex mechanical and aerospace multibody systems.’

The mixing of materials by the small scales of turbulent motion is a critical element of many applications in engineering, geophysics and astrophysics. This book reviews our understanding of coarse grained simulation of turbulent mixing and will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in computational fluid dynamics and turbulence.

The appropriate design of wave energy device technology is crucial in the effort to make wave energy economic. This book shows how control techniques can be best applied to maximise converted power, while also considering the interplay with other design features, such as device geometry optimisation and array layout optimisation.
