In their prior Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua, the authors provided a self-contained account of classical mechanics. This supplement and update offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics. The original book's focus on continuum mechanics forms the basis for this discussion of nonlinear continuous systems. 2006 edition.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In their prior Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua, Alexander L. Fetter and John Dirk Walecka provided a lucid and self-contained account of classical mechanics, together with appropriate mathematical methods. This supplement - an update of that volume - offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics.The original book's focus on continuum mechanics - with chapters on sound waves in fluids, surface waves on fluids, heat conduction, and viscous fluids - forms the basis for this supplement's discussion of nonlinear continuous systems. Topics include linearized stability analysis; a detailed examination of the Rayleigh-Benard problem, from its formulation to issues of linearized theory of convective instability and expansion in Fourier modes; and the direct derivation of Lorenz equations for simple physical configuration. The first half of the original text deals with particle mechanics, and this supplement returns to the study of systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. A concluding section presents a series of problems that reinforce the supplement's teachings. In their prior Dover book, the authors provided a self-contained account of classical mechanics; this supplement/update offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics. Topics include nonlinear continuous systems. 2006 edition. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
