It examines a range of phenomena and techniques in a style that is compact and succinct, while remaining comprehensive. The book provides a review of classical mechanics and coverage of critical topics including holonomic and non-holonomic systems, virtual work, the principle of d'Alembert for dynamical systems, the mathematics of conservative forces, the extended Hamilton's principle, Lagrange's equations and Lagrangian dynamics, a systematic procedure for generalized forces, quasi-coordinates, and quasi-velocities, Lagrangian dynamics with quasi-coordinates, Professor Ranjan Vepa's approach and the Hamiltonian formulation. Adopting a step-by-step approach with examples throughout the book, this ready reference completely develops all of the relevant equations and is ideal for practicing mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineers, physicists, and graduate\/upper-level undergraduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains in detail the development of the theory behind Lagrangian dynamics in a practical fashion;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses virtual work, generalized forces, conservative forces, constraints, Extended Hamilton's Principle and the Hamiltonian formulation;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents two different approaches to the quasi-velocity method for non-holonomic constraints;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces concepts presented with illustrative examples;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes comprehensive coverage of the important topics of classical mechanics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282522857623,"sku":"9783030223809","price":4407.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030223809.webp?v=1769302402","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-lagrangian-dynamics-9783030223809","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
