Modern Methods of Analytical Mechanics and their Applications

Download or read book Modern Methods of Analytical Mechanics and their Applications written by Valentin V. Rumyantsev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume aims at giving a comprehensive and up-to-date view of modern methods of analytical mechanics (general equations, invariant objects, stability and bifurcations) and their applications (rigid body dynamics, celestial mechanics, multibody systems etc.). The course is at an advanced level. It is designed for postgraduate students, research engineers and academics that are familiar with basic concepts of analytical dynamics and stability theory. Although the course deals with mechanical problems, most of the concepts and methods involved are equally applicated to general dynamical systems.
