Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book describes the basic concepts and principles of classical mechanics in the intermediate level. Given the perspective thatdifferent mechanical problems require an appropriate approach drawn from various methods or principles, a textbook discussingmultiplemethods or principles in mechanics is highly desirable.Additionally, a good textbook should include historicalcontexton the motivation and the development of the methods or principles, allowing students to gain insights that may help them discover new theories. However, after many years of teaching Dynamics in the graduate school, the authorswere unable tofind a suitableintermediate-level textbook on classical mechanics, whichmotivated them to begin writing this book.For theaforementioned reasons, this book includes the descriptions of various methods or principles in mechanics, such as the Newton-Euler Principle, the d'Alembert Principle, Lagrangian methods, Gauss's Principle of Least Constraint, the Gibbs-Appell equation, Jourdain's equation, the Principle of Virtual Power, the Appell-Kane method, the Hamilton Principle, and the Hamiltonian mechanics, among others. Moreover, many historical remarks on the motivation and the development of the methods or principles are given in this book, as well asnumerousapplications. The authors also believe that instudyingthe motion of a material body, different models may be used depending on the application. If the position of the body is of interest, a particle model may be chosen. If the orientation or attitude of the body is under consideration, a rigid body model should be adopted. If deformation is a concern, a model of deformable body should be applied.Consequently,a book in mechanics for engineers should encompassa variety ofmodels of the body, ranging from particles to continua such as solids or fluids.This book also meets that need.…
