Tensor Calculus and Analytical Dynamics provides a concise, but comprehensive, introduction to classical tensor calculus in both holonomic and nonholonomic coordinates as well as to its principal applications to the Lagrangean analytical dynamics of discrete and constrained systems. The thrust of the book focuses on formal structure and basic geometrical/physical ideas underlying most general equations of motion of mechanical systems under lin...

This is a comprehensive and state-of-the-art compendium of Newtonian-Eulerian (momentum/vectorial) mechanics, from an advanced and unified (i.e. continuum) viewpoint "elementary" simply means no Lagrangean and no Hamiltonian theories / methods, otherwise the level is graduate and beyond, yet, the presentation is eminently readable and inclusive: the style is informal and the mathematics (this Achilles heel of modern mechanics books, especially...

This is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, treatise on the energetic mechanics of Lagrange and Hamilton, that is, classical analytical dynamics, and its principal applications to constrained systems (contact, rolling, and servoconstraints). It is a book on advanced dynamics from a unified viewpoint, namely, the kinetic principle of virtual work, or principle of Lagrange. As such, it continues, renovates, and expands the grand tradition laid by...
