Advanced Dynamics is recognized as an important subject of study for all engineering students and professionals in competitive university programs and throughout the industry. This textbook adeptly explains the fundamental laws of motion, but goes a step beyond by covering new topics such as gyroscopic effects, missile trajectories, interplanetary missions, multistage rockets, and use of numerical methods. In addition, theories such as the rotation operator are taken to a new degree and developed further, far surpassing comparable *** book balances theory and application and relates all subjects to practical problems, real-world situations, and recent advances that affect everyday life. This text distinguishes itself with a more complete introduction to recent developments in dynamics, new and practical applications to help the reader remember key theories and uses, and an appreciation that the subject matter is riddled with ongoing problems that need new solutions. These distinguishing features make Advanced Dynamics more complete, interesting, and understandable than existing textbooks and resource materials. Problems appear at the end of each chapter, and a complimentary solutions manual is available for professors. Advanced Dynamics is also written for those engineers who want to update their knowledge and stay current on changes in the field, but do not have the opportunity to attend formal classes. The reader will take away a thorough understanding of the foundation of mechanical engineering, which is necessary to read and assimilate scholarly papers and leading articles published in journals and peer-reviewed magazines.

The primary focus of Fundamentals of High Accuracy Inertial Navigation is on the physical and mathematical principles forming the basis for inertial navigation. It differs from other books on the subject by treating aspects of the blend of inertial navigation technology and geodesy. Accuracy criteria and evaluation are also discussed. Fundamentals of High Accuracy Inertial Navigation is divided into three parts: inertial navigation, inertial navigation with aids, and accuracy analysis. The first two parts are designed to give the reader an understanding of the fundamentals without requiring knowledge of the statistical analysis techniques involved in determining the effects of errors on accuracy. The third part defines the criteria for determining accuracy and then leads the reader through the complex process of that determination. This book is intended for the third- or fourth-year engineering student, as well as professional engineers or scientists trained in mathematics, control theory, analytical mechanics, geodesy, or physics, who have a need for understanding the basic principles of inertial navigation technology.

Evolution of the Apollo Guidance Computer, Mr. Hall contends that the development of the Apollo computer supported and motivated the semiconductor industry during a time when integrated circuits were just emerging. This was the period just before the electronics revolution that gave birth to modern computers. In addition, the book recalls the history of computer technology, both hardware and software, and the applications of digital computing to missile guidance systems and manned spacecraft. The book also offers graphics and photos drawn from the Draper Laboratories’ archives that illustrate the technology and related events during the Apollo project. Written for experts as well as lay persons, Journey to the Moon is the first book of its kind and a must for anyone interested in the history of science and the relevance of computer technology to space exploration.

Smetana has written an integrated course book about dynamics and automatic controls for introductory students in vibrations, dynamics, digital and automatic controls, dynamics of machinery, linear systems, and modeling. Upper-level undergraduate students are sure to benefit from Smetana’s 40 years of experience in the field. The book emphasizes a common methodology and seeks to aid student understanding with SOLVE software to permit easy and comprehensive numerical experiments to answer “what if” questions. It includes more than 350 illustrations, and details about how solutions are achieved and how to analyze the results. Discussion of various software packages reinforces the author’s view that “engineering education will eventually emulate the engineering workplace in its use of ‘canned’ software.” A 95-page user’s manual for the SOLVE software provides FORTRAN codes for evaluating analytical solutions to systems of linear differential equations; it comes with two 3.5-inch PC diskettes. The goal is to prepare the newly graduated engineer to analyze the response of a flexible system to command and to determine rationally how the system’s performance can be brought to the desired level of performance.

Increasingly, space teleoperators and robots (space telerobots) will take the place of astronauts in planetary and lunar scientific missions to reduce cost and risk. Terrestrial robots have much in common with space robots, but there are important physical differences arising from weightlessness, vacuum, the thermal environment, and the need to minimize mass. Because the technology for building intelligent space robots does not yet exist, they must be supervised by human operators. This book addresses these concerns, providing extensive, well-illustrated descriptions of existing, planned, and laboratory space telerobot systems, international designs, the role and capabilities of humans in system control and supervision, levels of control autonomy, the economic trade-offs of manned versus telerobotic space operations, and dynamics and control. The book provides engineers, scientists, managers, policy makers, and students with the underlying technical issues associated with human-supervised space robots and the design, justification, and use of practical space telerobot systems.

The four companion volumes on Dynamic Aspects of Detonations and Explosion Phenomena and Dynamics of Gaseous and Heterogeneous Combustion and Reactive Systems present 111 of the 230 papers given at the Thirteenth International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems held in Nagoya, Japan. These books embrace the topics of explosions, detonations, shock phenomena, and reactive flow, as well as the gasdynamic aspects of nonsteady flow in combustion systems, the fluid mechanics aspects of combustion, and diagnostic techniques. Two of the volumes, Dynamics of Gaseous Combustion (Vol. 151) and Dynamics of Heterogeneous Combustion and Reacting Systems (Vol. 152), focus on the processes of coupling the exothermic energy release with the fluid mechanics occurring in various combination processes. The other two volumes, Dynamic Aspects of Detonations (Vol. 153) and Dynamic Aspects of Explosion Phenomena (Vol. 154), address the rate processes of energy deposition in a compressible medium and the concurrent nonsteady flow as it typically occurs in explosion phenomena.

This book generalizes the classic theory of the regression experiment design in the case of Kalman-type filtering in controllable dynamic systems. A new approach is proposed for optimization of the measurable parameters structure, of navigation mean modes, of the observability conditions, of inputs for system identification, etc. The developed techniques are applied for enhancing efficiency of spacecraft navigation and control.
