Classical Mechanics: From Newton to Einstein: A Modern Introduction, Second Edition

Classical Mechanics provides a clear introduction to the subject, combining a user–friendly style with an authoritative approach, whilst requiring minimal prerequisite mathematics – only elementary calculus and simple vectors are presumed. The text starts with a careful look at Newton′s Laws, before applying them in one dimension to oscillations and collisions. More advanced applications – including gravitational orbits, rigid body dynamics and mechanics in rotating frames – are deferred until after the limitations of Newton′s inertial frames have been highlighted through an exposition of Einstein′s Special Relativity.

Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics, Third Edition

The proposed is an updated edition of a book that presents a classic approach to engineering elasticity. Lead author Art Boresi is considered one of the best authors in engineering mechanics alive today and has a number of well respected books to his credit. The classic approach taken will be enhanced in this revision based on both the authors plans and their acceptance of reviewer comments asking for more coverage of "modern" subjects and applications such as nano– and biomechanical elsaticity. Co–author Ken Chong at the NSF has proposed adding a third author, Wing K. Liu, from Northwestern University to help in this effort. They will also work to add more engineering applications and examples to supplement their more theoretical coverage. As with the second edition as solutions manual will be available on the instructor′s companion site.
From the Back Cover
Comprehensive, accessible, and logical—an outstanding treatment of elasticity in engineering mechanics

Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics has been prized by many aspiring and practicing engineers as an easy–to–navigate guide to an area of engineering science that is fundamental to aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and to other branches of engineering. With its focus not only on elasticity theory, including nano– and biomechanics, but also on concrete applications in real engineering situations, this acclaimed work is a core text in a spectrum of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and a superior reference for engineering professionals. With more than 200 graphs, charts, and tables, this Third Edition includes:

* Clear explorations of such topics as deformation and stress, stress–strain–temperature relations, plane elasticity, thermal stresses, and end loads
* Discussions of deformation and stress treated separately for clarity, with emphasis on both their independence and mathematical similarities
* An overview of the mathematical preliminaries to all aspects of elasticity, from stress analysis to vector fields, from the divergence theorem to tensor algebra
* Real–world examples and problem sets illustrating the most common elasticity solutions—such as equilibrium equations, the Galerkin vector, and Kelvin′s problem
* Highlights of the similarities and differences between molecular dynamics and continuum theory
* Presentations of molecular dynamics, including the subjects of definition of temperature at atomistic scale, and interatomic potentials, forces, and stiffness matrices
* Discussions and real–world examples of biomechanics, including the subjects of finite strain elasticity, constitutive equations of soft biological tissues, incompressibility, aneurysm, plaque on artery wall, and active stresses
* A series of appendixes covering advanced topics such as complex variables, couple–stress theory, micromorphic theory, and concurrent atomistic/continuum theory
