College physics course for students majoring in science and engineering.
A general theory of elastic stability
by Thompson, J. M. T., Hunt, G. W.
fromWiley-Interscience publication
Various holonomy phenomena are shown to be instances of the reconstruction procedure for mechanical systems with symmetry. We systematically exploit this point of view for fixed systems and for slowly moving systems in adiabatic context. For the latter, we obtain the phases as t…
Philosophic, less formalistic approach to perennially important field of analytical mechanics. Model of clear, scholarly exposition at graduate level with coverage of basic concepts, calculus of variations, principle of virtual work, equations of motion, relativistic mechanics, …
Newtonian mechanics
by French, A. P., (Anthony Philip)
fromM.I.T. introductory physics series
A rough guide to the possible use of the book is suggested by its division into three parts. Part I, The Approach to Newtonian Dynamics, is intended to serve two purposes. First, it does discuss the basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics, more or less from scratch. Second, it…
