Tensor Calculus and Analytical Dynamics provides a concise, comprehensive, and readable introduction to classical tensor calculus - in both holonomic and nonholonomic coordinates - as well as to its principal applications to the Lagrangean dynamics of discrete systems under positional or velocity constraints. The thrust of the book focuses on formal structure and basic geometrical/physical ideas underlying most general equations of motion of mechanical systems under linear velocity constraints.Written for the theoretically minded engineer, Tensor Calculus and Analytical Dynamics contains uniquely accessbile treatments of such intricate topics as:tensor calculus in nonholonomic variables Pfaffian nonholonomic constraints related integrability theory of FrobeniusThe book enables readers to move quickly and confidently in any particular geometry-based area of theoretical or applied mechanics in either classical or modern form.

This 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.

This is a comprehensive and state-of-the-art compendium of classical or Newtonian (non relativistic and non quantum) mechanics from an advanced and unified viewpoint, namely, from the continuum, or field, form of the fundamental principles of linear and angular momentum of Euler, Cauchy, Hamel et al. The title adjective "elementary" simply means no Lagrangean and no Hamiltonian theories and methods. Yet, in spite of its high level, this extensive work of more than 1450 dense pages of text, and more than 350 pages of galleries is eminently readable and inclusive. The overall style is informal, all ahistorical and intuition-deadening jargon and formalisms ("epsilonics") have been intentionally avoided. The mathematics, typically an Achilles heel of modern mechanics books, especially those in applied or multi-body mechanics, has been kept to the simplest necessary for a work of this level and scope. As such, the book continues, renovates, and expands the grand tradition laid by such educational 20th century "elementary mechanics" classics as those written by Butenin, Coe, Fox, Hamel, Loitsianskii, Lur'e, Magnus, Milne, Nielsen, Parkus, Pars, Stäckel, Synge, Szabó, Voigt, among others.Specifically:The text is complemented, clarified, and enriched by many remarks, completely solved nontrivial examples, and problems, all of the latter with their answers and many with hints. It will be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students and teachers in and out of the academia, in the areas of engineering (aero & astro, civil, mechanical, controls), theoretical and applied mechanics, physics, applied mathematics, science history and others, for class reference and self study. Nothing equivalent or comparable to it has ever appeared, in any language, in the mechanics literature.
