This second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics.
(7.97) This is the Rutherford-scattering differential-cross-section formula. Around 1910, Rutherford and his students bombarded metal foils with alpha particles. Their results for the distribution of scattering angles were consistent ...
So the text is thus structured around developments of the main ideas, explicit proofs, and numerous clarifications, comments and applications.
Featured topics include: * An overview of fundamental dynamics, both two- and three-dimensional * An examination of variational approaches, including Lagrangian theory * A complete discussion of the dynamics of rotating bodies * Coverage of ...
This expanded second edition presents in one text the concepts and processes covered in statics and mechanics of materials curricula following a systematic, topically integrated approach.
It also offers a different point of view for engineering students, as it provides them with a more intuitive understanding of structural mechanics and the models therein.Instead of studying the classical theory of linear elasticity and then ...
Other additional topics not traditionally presented in undergraduate textbooks include the treatment of constraint forces in Lagrangian Mechanics; Routh's procedure for Lagrangian systems with symmetries; the art of numerical analysis for ...
Based on a Cal Tech course, this is an outstanding introduction to formal quantum mechanics for advanced undergraduates in applied physics.
This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics, and the second edition includes additional explanations, examples and exercises.
The book also serves as a valuable reference for professionals working in the areas of modeling and simulation, physics, and computational engineering.
This text introduces the main concepts of continuum mechanics simply with rich supporting examples but does not compromise mathematically in providing the invariant form as well as component form of the basic equations and their ...
