Continuum Mechanics for Engineers, Third Edition provides engineering students with a complete, concise, and accessible introduction to advanced engineering mechanics. The impetus for this latest edition was the need to suitably combine the introduction of continuum mechanics, linear and nonlinear elasticity, and viscoelasticity for a graduate-leve
Literatur zur analytischen Mechanik enthalt meist nur die klassische Theorie, an der sich seit Jahren nichts geandert hat. Dieses Buch fullt eine Lucke, indem es rund 250 neue Beispiele und rund 400 neue Aufgaben bietet sowie nun auch computergestutzte Rechenmethoden behandelt. Mathematische Theorie und ingenieurtechnische Anwendungen stehen dabei stets in einem ausgewogenen Verhaltnis zueinander. Mit vielen anschaulichen Abbildungen! (11/99)
Fred B. Seely (1884-1968) was a professor of theoretical and applied mechanics at the University of Illinois from 1909-1952. Newton Edward Ensign (1882-?) was a Rhodes Scholar who also taught theoretical and applied mechanics at the University of Illinois. The third edition of the textbook was released in 1941.
Advanced Engineering Analysis: The Calculus of Variations and Functional Analysis with Applications in Mechanics Advanced Engineering Analysis is a textbook on modern engineering analysis, covering the calculus of variations, functional analysis, and control theory, as well as applications of these disciplines to mechanics. The book offers a brief and concise, yet complete explanation of essential theory and applications. It contains exercises with hints and solutions, ideal for self-study. Book jacket.
Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics has been prized by many aspiring and practicing engineers as an easy-to-navigate guide to an area of engineering science that is fundamental to aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and to other branches of engineering. With its focus not only on elasticity theory, including nano- and biomechanics, but also on concrete applications in real engineering situations, this acclaimed work is a core text in a spectrum of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and a superior reference for engineering professionals.
Principles of Composite Material Mechanics covers a unique blend of classical and contemporary mechanics of composites technologies. It presents analytical approaches ranging from the elementary mechanics of materials to more advanced elasticity and finite element numerical methods, discusses novel materials such as nanocomposites and hybrid multis
Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, Fourth Edition addresses the principles and application of vibration theory. Equations for modeling vibrating systems are explained, and MATLAB® is referenced as an analysis tool. The Fourth Edition adds more coverage of damping, new case studies, and development of the control aspects in vibration analysis. A MATLAB appendix has also been added to help students with computational analysis. This work includes example problems and explanatory figures, biographies of renowned contributors, and access to a website providing supplementary resources.
Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the basic concepts of space mechanics. These include vector kinematics in three dimensions; Newton's laws of motion and gravitation; relative motion; the vector-based solution of the classical two-body problem; derivation of Kepler's equations; orbits in three dimensions; preliminary orbit determination; and orbital maneuvers. The book also covers relative motion and the two-impulse rendezvous problem; interplanetary mission design using patched conics; rigid-body dynamics used to characterize the attitude of a space vehicle; satellite attitude dynamics; and the characteristics and design of multi-stage launch vehicles. Each chapter begins with an outline of key concepts and concludes with problems that are based on the material covered. This text is written for undergraduates who are studying orbital mechanics for the first time and have completed courses in physics, dynamics, and mathematics, including differential equations and applied linear algebra. Graduate students, researchers, and experienced practitioners will also find useful review materials in the book. - NEW: Reorganized and improved discusions of coordinate systems, new discussion on perturbations and quarternions - NEW: Increased coverage of attitude dynamics, including new Matlab algorithms and examples in chapter 10 - New examples and homework problems
