Engineering Dynamics

Jerry H. Ginsberg is an Emeritus Professor of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and was the inaugural Woodruff Chair in Mechanical Systems. His activities include seminal contributions in nonlinear dynamics, shell vibrations, dynamic stability of pipes, nonlinear acoustics, shock response of submerged structures, acoustic-structure interaction, and experimental modal analysis. Among his awards are the Per Bruel Gold Medal from The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); the Trent-Crede Silver Medal and the Rossing Prize for Acoustics Education from Acoustical Society and America Awards (ASA); the Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator in Mechanics Education Award from American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and the Georgia Institute of Technology Professor of the Year in 1994. His other books include Advanced Engineering Dynamics (1999), Statics and Dynamics (1995) and Structural Vibrations (2001). He is a Fellow of the ASA and ASME. Matthew Allen is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University, with twenty years of experience in teaching engineering dynamics, five years at BYU and fifteen years teaching in the Engineering Mechanics program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also PI of an active research group responsible for several advances in experimental methods, numerical techniques and reduced order modelling and for nonlinear dynamic systems. Philip A. Voglewede is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Marquette University. He has earned four departmental outstanding teacher awards, nine college outstanding teacher awards, and the University's 2015 Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence. He has over twenty years of experience in teaching engineering dynamics.

'Ginsberg's textbooks are at the top of the list in terms of clarity of presentation, and the quality of examples and exercise problems in solidifying concepts in dynamics. This second edition of Engineering Dynamics is an excellent continuation.' Charles Krousgrill, Purdue University
