Abstract
The objectives and rationale behind the writing and editing of this book are introduced in this chapter. It is claimed that the complexity of machinery and systems currently under design warrant an approach to multibody system dynamics that integrates two of its building blocks, kinematics and dynamics, which have been traditionally studied separately. Moreover, the design and development of current engineering systems call for integrating multibody dynamics with other disciplines like the thermosciences, electronics, control theory, and computer science, thereby giving rise to what has been termed mechatroni.cs for the last twenty years or so. This integration requires that multibody system dynamics be given an integrated form, in order to ease its interaction with other disciplines.
