Arcler Education Inc Fundamentals of Motion: Introduction to Classical
Book SynopsisClassical Mechanics, a branch of physics that addresses the motion of macroscopic objects, is founded upon fundamental principles that govern the behavior of physical bodies. Central to this are Newton's three laws of motion. The first law, or the law of inertia, posits that an object will remain in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law provides a mathematical description of how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force, and is often expressed as F=ma, where F is the total force, m is the object's mass, and a is its acceleration. The third law, the principle of action and reaction, asserts that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws have been instrumental in the development of various disciplines such as engineering and astronomy and remain applicable to most physical systems, except when dealing with phenomena at extremely small scales or relativistic speeds. The Fundamentals of Motion: Introduction to Classical Mechanics is an essential textbook that provides a thorough examination of the principles underlying the motion of macroscopic objects. Designed for students, educators, and professionals in physics and engineering, this book delves into the core concepts of Classical Mechanics, including Newton's laws of motion, conservation of momentum and energy, dynamics, kinematics, and rotational motion. It offers a systematic approach to understanding fundamental theories and mathematical formulations, coupled with illustrative examples and practical exercises. This textbook also incorporates discussions on the historical development and philosophical aspects of Classical Mechanics, the limitations of the classical view in the face of relativistic and quantum phenomena, and emerging connections to other areas of physics. With its methodical exposition and clear insights, Fundamentals of Motion: Introduction to Classical Mechanics serves as an indispensable guide for those seeking to understand the intricate workings of physical laws that govern our world, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools to explore the underlying nature of motion and mechanics.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Tensor Analysis for Engineers and Physicists -
Book SynopsisThis book unies the common tensor analytical aspects in engineering and physics. Using tensor analysis enables the reader to understand complex physical phenomena from the basic principles in continuum mechanics including the turbulence, its correlations and modeling to the complex Einstein' tensor equation. The development of General Theory of Relativity and the introduction of spacetime geometry would not have been possible without the use of tensor analysis. This textbook is primarily aimed at students of mechanical, electrical, aerospace, civil and other engineering disciplines as well as of theoretical physics. It also covers the special needs of practicing professionals who perform CFD-simulation on a routine basis and would like to know more about the underlying physics of the commercial codes they use. Furthermore, it is suitable for self-study, provided that the reader has a sufficient knowledge of differential and integral calculus. Particular attention was paid to selecting the application examples. The transformation of Cartesian coordinate system into curvilinear one and the subsequent applications to conservation laws of continuum mechanics and the turbulence physics prepares the reader for fully understanding the Einstein tensor equations, which exhibits one of the most complex tensor equation in theoretical physics.Table of ContentsVectors and Tensors.- Transformation of Tensors.- Differential Operators in Continuum Mechanics.- Tensors and Kinematics.- Differential Balances in Continuum Mechanics.- Tensor Operations in Orthogonal Curvilinear.- Tensor Application, Navier-Stokes Equation.- Curves, Curvature, Surfaces, Geodesics.- Turbulent Flow, Modeling.- Special Theory of Relativity.- Tensors In General Theory of Relativity.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Hamilton’s Principle in Continuum Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis revised, updated edition provides a comprehensive and rigorous description of the application of Hamilton’s principle to continuous media. To introduce terminology and initial concepts, it begins with what is called the first problem of the calculus of variations. For both historical and pedagogical reasons, it first discusses the application of the principle to systems of particles, including conservative and non-conservative systems and systems with constraints. The foundations of mechanics of continua are introduced in the context of inner product spaces. With this basis, the application of Hamilton’s principle to the classical theories of fluid and solid mechanics are covered. Then recent developments are described, including materials with microstructure, mixtures, and continua with singular surfaces.Table of ContentsMechanics of Systems of Particles .- Mathematical Preliminaries.- Mechanics of Continuous Media.- Motions and Comparison Motions of a Mixture.- Singular Surfaces.- Index.

Springer Methods of Analysis and Solutions of Crack
Book SynopsisIt is weH known that the traditional failure criteria cannot adequately explain failures which occur at a nominal stress level considerably lower than the ultimate strength of the material. The current procedure for predicting the safe loads or safe useful life of a structural member has been evolved around the discipline oflinear fracture mechanics. This approach introduces the concept of a crack extension force which can be used to rank materials in some order of fracture resistance. The idea is to determine the largest crack that a material will tolerate without failure. Laboratory methods for characterizing the fracture toughness of many engineering materials are now available. While these test data are useful for providing some rough guidance in the choice of materials, it is not clear how they could be used in the design of a structure. The understanding of the relationship between laboratory tests and fracture design of structures is, to say the least, deficient. Fracture mechanics is presently at astandstill until the basic problems of scaling from laboratory models to fuH size structures and mixed mode crack propagation are resolved. The answers to these questions require some basic understanding ofthe theory and will not be found by testing more specimens. The current theory of fracture is inadequate for many reasons. First of aH it can only treat idealized problems where the applied load must be directed normal to the crack plane.
