AERO - A Physically Based Simulation and Animation System (UNIX - written in C) AERO is a tool for editing and simulating scenes with rigid body systems. You can use the built-in 4-view editor to create a virtual scene consisting of spheres, cuboids, cylinders, planes and fix points. You can link these objects with rods, springs, dampers and bolt joints and you can connect forces to the objects. Then you can begin the simulation and everything starts moving according to the laws of physics (gravitation, friction, collisions). The simulation can be viewed as animated wire frame graphics. In addition you can use the POV-Ray raytracing program to render photo-realistic animation sequences. At the moment, AERO exists as an X-Windows program called xaero. It runs on most Unix compatible machines including Linux PCs, SUN-, DEC-, SGI-, HP-, and IBM-Workstations. |

Summary
Available January '99! Addison-Wesley is pleased to announce the imminent publication
of Anthony Bedford and Wallace Fowler's Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, Second
Edition. The revised textbook will be published in November 1998, available
in time for January '99 classes. This book has quickly earned a place in Engineering
schools across the country because it teaches engineering mechanics the way
a good instructor would. Hallmark Features Problem Solving Uses a "Strategy-Solution-Discussion"
problem-solving methodology that explains how to approach problems, solve them,
and critically judge the results Visualization Stresses the importance of visual
analysis, especially the use of free-body diagrams Develops figures gradually
and employs "ghosting" techniques to clarify and emphasize concepts--
emulating the way an instructor teaches Applications Places engineering mechanics
within the context of engineering practice by including applications from many
fields of engineering Introduces design principles with the "Application
to Engineering" feature using concepts developed in preceding sections
of the chapter New Features Visualization Provides more free-body diagrams to
many of the worked examples Separates most of the diagrams showing velocities,
accelerations, and forces intoa free-body diagram showing the forces and a kinematic
diagram showing the accelerations Content Extends the discussion of normal and
tangential components in Chapter 2 to include three- dimensional motion Includes
a revised discussion of reference frames throughout the text, especially in
Chapters 2 and 6 Improves the discussion of impulsive forces in Chapter 5 Improves
the discussion of 2D rigid-body kinematics in Chapter 6 Expands and improves
the discussion of D'Alembert's principle in Chapter 7 Provides a revised and
improved discussion of angular impulse and momentum in Chapter 8 Expands the
discussion of 3D rigid body dynamics in Chapter 9 and provides new examples
and problems Offers several new examples throughout the text including more
of the popular feature, "Application to Engineering" Includes more
than 20% new and revised end-of-chapter problems Organization Presents section
on Orbital Mechanics in Chapter 3 Other Provides a thoroughly revised solution
