An introduction to MATLAB for engineering students, complete with practice problems
Written as a complement to Engineering Mechanics Dynamics, this book provides students with an introduction to MATLAB as well as example problems that correspond to the aforementioned text. The book covers numerical calculations, defining functions, graphics, symbolic calculations, differentiation and integration, and solving equations with MATLAB and then presents problems in seven subsequent chapters. These cover kinematics of particles, kinetics of particles, kinetics of systems of particles; plane kinematics of rigid bodies; plane kinetics of rigid bodies, three-dimensional dynamics of rigid bodies, and vibration and response time.
