This publication details a systematic methodology for the schematic representation of mechanical systems, encompassing both rigid and deformable bodies. It presents a systems-based approach to model the interactions of mechanical systems with various force fields, including those arising from fluid dynamics or inter-body contact forces. The text explores concepts of motion stability and analyzes mechanical systems with single or multiple degrees of freedom, considering both large motions and subsequent perturbations around steady-state positions. Both discrete and continuous systems, utilizing modal analysis and finite element techniques, are examined.

The second part of this resource focuses on mechanical systems subjected to force fields, rotor dynamics, parameter identification techniques, and random excitations. This comprehensive guide is designed to benefit engineering students in Mechanical Systems, Aerospace, Automation, and Energy fields, as well as practicing professionals. Through numerous solved examples and diagrams that illustrate the application of principles to real-world engineering scenarios, the book aims to be accessible to a broad audience.

This book introduces a general approach for schematization of mechanical systems with rigid and deformable bodies. It proposes a systems approach to reproduce the interaction of the mechanical system with different force fields such as those due to the action of fluids or contact forces between bodies, i.e., with forces dependent on the system states, introducing the concepts of the stability of motion.

In the first part of the text mechanical systems with one or more degrees of freedom with large motion and subsequently perturbed in the neighborhood of the steady state position are analyzed.

Both discrete and continuous systems (modal approach, finite elements) are analyzed. The second part is devoted to the study of mechanical systems subject to force fields, the rotor dynamics, techniques of experimental identification of the parameters and random excitations.

The book will be especially valuable for students of engineering courses in Mechanical Systems, Aerospace, Automation and Energy but will also be useful for professionals. The book is made accessible to the widest possible audience by numerous, solved examples and diagrams that apply the principles to real engineering applications.
