Classical mechanics: kinematics and statics /
Awrejcewicz, Jan
Classical mechanics: kinematics and statics / Jan Awrejcewicz. - New York : Springer, c2012 - xiii, 440 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
Fundamental Principles of Mechanics -- Statics -- Geometry of Masses -- Particle Kinematics and an Introduction to the Kinematics of Rigid Bodies -- Kinematics of a Rigid Body and Composite Motion of a Point -- Kinematics of a Deformable Body.
"This is the first volume of three books by the same author, devoted entirely to classical mechanics. The triad of works covers different subjects in classical mechanics and creates a link between them by deriving topics from the same root. Moreover, the author unifies different approaches from English, Russian, Polish, and German literature devoted to classical mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the study of electro-magneto-mechanical systems. In Chapter 1 the fundamental principles of mechanics are formulated, illustrated, and discussed. Chapter 2 is devoted to statics and Chapter 3 presents the geometry of masses. Kinematics of a particle, the curvilinear and normal coordinates, and kinematic pairs and chains are the main focus of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 studies the kinematics of a rigid body and a composite motion of a particle. Chapter 6 ends the text with kinematics of a deformable body."--Publisher's website
