Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua

Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This two-part text supplies a lucid and self-contained account of classical mechanics. The first part covers Newton's laws of motion and systematically develops the dynamics of classical particles, with chapters on basic principles, rotating coordinate systems, lagrangian formalism, small oscillations, dynamics of rigid bodies, and hamiltonian formalism, including a brief discussion of the transition to quantum mechanics. The second part deals with classical continua, including chapters on string membranes, sound waves, surface waves on nonviscous fluids, heat conduction, viscous fluids, and elastic media. 1980 ed.
