{"product_id":"9789814590365","title":"Analytical Mechanics: A Comprehensive Treatise On The Dynamics Of Constrained Systems (Reprint Edition): A Comprehensive Treatise on the Dynamics of Constrained Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, treatise on the energetic mechanics of Lagrange and Hamilton, that is, classical analytical dynamics, and its principal applications to constrained systems (contact, rolling, and servoconstraints). It is a book on advanced dynamics from a unified viewpoint, namely, the kinetic principle of virtual work, or principle of Lagrange. As such, it continues, renovates, and expands the grand tradition laid by such mechanics masters as Appell, Maggi, Whittaker, Heun, Hamel, Chetaev, Synge, Pars, Luré, Gantmacher, Neimark, and Fufaev. Many completely solved examples complement the theory, along with many problems (all of the latter with their answers and many of them with hints). Although written at an advanced level, the topics covered in this 1400-page volume (the most extensive ever written on analytical mechanics) are eminently readable and inclusive. It is of interest to engineers, physicists, and mathematicians; advanced undergraduate and graduate students and teachers; researchers and professionals; all will find this encyclopedic work an extraordinary asset; for classroom use or self-study. In this edition, corrections (of the original edition, 2002) have been incorporated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackground: Basic Concepts and Equations of Particle and Rigid-Body Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinematics of Constrained Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetics of Constrained Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpulsive Motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNonlinear Nonholonomic Constraints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferential Variational Principles, and Associated Generalized Equations of Motion of Nielsen, Tsenov, et al.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime-Integral Theorems and Variational Principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Hamiltonian\/Canonical Methods: Equations of Hamilton and Routh; Canonical Formalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Students and researchers in engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo book of this scope (comprehensiveness and state-of-the-art level) has ever been written, in any language, there are no real competitors.
