From the reviews:"This is the second of two volumes … by Hartsuijker and Welleman (both, Dolft Univ. of Technology). … The concepts and applications are well presented; applications include both basic and advanced levels. The worked out examples nicely illustrate concepts. Figures and tables are clear and help understanding of the concepts. … In summary, the book is very well written and is a welcome addition to the literature of engineering mechanics. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. G. Prasad, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)

Free Download Elements of Newtonian Mechanics: Including Nonlinear Dynamics by Jens Martin Knudsen , Poul Georg Hjorth
English | PDF | 1996 | 460 Pages | ISBN : 3540608419 | 47.7 MB
In the second edition, a number of misprints that appeared in the first edition have been corrected. In addition to this, we have made improvements based on the experience gathered in the use of the first English edition of the book in the introductory course in physics at the University of Copenhagen. A chapter introducing nonlinear dynamics has been added. The purpose of this chapter is to provide supplementary reading for the students who are interested in this area of active research, where Newtonian mechanics plays an essential role. The students who wish to dig deeper, should consult texts dedicated to the study of nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos. The literature list at the end of this book contains several references for the topic. The book still contains a one-semester (15 weeks) first university course on Newtonian mechanics. This necessarily introduces some constraints on the choice of topics and the level of mathematical sophistication expected from the reader. If one looks for discussions of technical issues, such as the physics behind various manifestations of friction, or the tensorial nature of the rotation vector, one will look in vain. The book contains what we feel are the essential aspects of Newtonian Mechanics. It is a pleasure again to thank Springer-Verlag and in particular Dr. H. J. KOisch and the staff at the Heidelberg office for helpfulness and professional collaboration.

In the third edition a number of minor misprints that appeared in the second edition have have been corrected. Furthermore, 17 new problems have been added, at the end of chapters 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The answers to these 17 problems have not been listed in the ‘Answers’ section at the end of the book. This will permit the problems to be used as hand-in problems or perhaps in mid-term exams.

Free Download Elements of Continuum Mechanics and Conservation Laws by Sergei K. Godunov , Evgenii I. Romenskii
English | PDF | 2003 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 0306477351 | 17.9 MB
Elements of Continuum Mechanics and Conservation Laws presents a systematization of different models in mathematical physics, a study of the structure of conservation laws, thermodynamical identities, and connection with criteria for well-posedness of the corresponding mathematical problems.

Free Download Discrete Computational Mechanics of Masonry Structures by Katalin Bagi, Maurizio Angelillo
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 239 Pages | ISBN : 3031324757 | 60.2 MB
This book provides an overview to those most important modern and traditional methods of masonry analysis that are able to capture the discrete internal built-up of masonry structures. Such methods are available in a wide variety today – from computational packages based on classical graphical statics techniques through discrete element methods or the most sophisticated no-tension semi-continuum models – , and this book reviews their theoretical foundations, as well as their advantages and preferable fields of application, also calling the attention on their limitations so that the reader could build up a critical view of the choices they have when attacking a masonry mechanics problem. The book gives a basis for the readers to become able to develop their own methods, inspired either by classical graphical statics, or by any modern technique they find promising.

Free Download Continuum Damage Mechanics Theory and Application by D. Krajcinovic, J. Lemaitre
English | PDF | 1987 | 298 Pages | ISBN : 3211820116 | 21.9 MB
While no idea is entirely new, it is pretty agreed that the 1958 seminal study of the creep rupture by Lazar M. Kachanov marks the birthday ofwhat we today know as continuum damage mechanics. In thefollowing years the interest in this new branch of continuum mechanics grew beyond the fondest hopes as it became plainly obvious that damage mechanics represents a rational framework for the treatment of a wide range of brittle phenomena.

Free Download Computer Algebra Recipes for Classical Mechanics by Richard H. Enns , George C. McGuire
English | PDF | 2003 | 273 Pages | ISBN : 0817642919 | 22.5 MB
Hundreds of novel and innovative computer algebra "recipes" will enable readers starting at the second year undergraduate level to easily and rapidly solve and explore most problems they encounter in their classical mechanics studies. Using the powerful computer algebra system MAPLE (Release 8) – no prior knowledge of MAPLE is presumed – the relevant command structures are explained on a need-to-know basis as the recipes are developed. This new problem-solving guide can serve in the classroom or for self-study, for reference, or as a text for an on-line course.

Free Download Computational Space Flight Mechanics by Claus Weiland
English | PDF (True) | 2010 | 305 Pages | ISBN : 364213582X | 8.9 MB
The mechanic sof space ?ightisan old discipline.Its topic originally was the motion of planets, moons and other celestial bodies in gravitational ?elds. Kepler’s (1571 – 1630) observations and measurements have led to probably the ?rst mathematical description of planet’s motion. Newton (1642 – 1727) gave then, with the devel- ment of his principles of mechanics, the physical explanation of these motions. Since then man has started in the second half of the 20th centuryto capture ph- ically the Space in the sense that he did develop arti?cial celestial bodies, which he brought into Earth’s orbits, like satellites or space stations, or which he did send to planets or moons of our planetary system, like probes, or by which p- ple were brought to the moon and back, like capsules. Further he developed an advanced space transportation system, the U.S. Space Shuttle Orbiter, which is the only winged space vehicle ever in operation. In the last two and a half decades there were several activities in the world in order to succeed the U.S. Orbiter, like the HERMES project in Europe, the HOPE project in Japan, the X-33, X-34 and X-37 studies and demonstrators in the United States and the joint U.S. – European project X-38. However, all these projects were cancelled. The motion of these vehicles can be described by Newton’s equation of motion.

Free Download Composite Mechanics by Andreas Öchsner
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 214 Pages | ISBN : 3031323890 | 27.1 MB
This book in the advanced structured materials series provides first an introduction to the mircomechanics of fiber-reinforced laminae, which deals with the prediction of the macroscopic mechanical lamina properties based on the mechanical properties of the constituents, i.e., fibers and matrix. Composite materials, especially fiber-reinforced composites, are gaining increasing importance since they can overcome the limits of many structures based on classical metals. Particularly, the combination of a matrix with fibers provides far better properties than the constituents alone. Despite their importance, many engineering degree programs do not treat the mechanical behavior of this class of advanced structured materials in detail, at least on the bachelor’s degree level. Thus, some engineers are not able to thoroughly apply and introduce these modern engineering materials in their design process.

Free Download Classical and Quantum Mechanics of Noncentral Potentials: A Survey of Two-Dimensional Systems by R. S. Kaushal
English | PDF | 1998 | 222 Pages | ISBN : 3662113279 | 18.6 MB
Non-central forces have a wide variety of applications in classical and quantum mechanics as demonstrated in this book. The author emphasizes the study of time-dependent potentials, predominantly in two dimensions, without neglecting the quite well understood time-independent case. The construction of invariants in the classical case and the study of solutions to Schrödinger’s equation, as well as a detailed presentation of various mathematical techniques are of main concern to the author. The book addresses theoretical physicists and mathematicians, but it will also be useful for electrical and mechanical engineers.
