Available for the first time in English, this two-volume course on theoretical and applied mechanics has been honed over decades by leading scientists and teachers, and is a primary teaching resource for engineering and maths students at St. Petersburg University.
The course addresses classical branches of theoretical mechanics (Vol. 1), along with a wide range of advanced topics, special problems and applications (Vol. 2). Among the special applications addressed in this second volume are: stability of motion, nonlinear oscillations, dynamics and statics of the Stewart platform, mechanics under random forces, elements of control theory, relations between nonholonomic mechanics and the control theory, vibration and autobalancing of rotor systems, physical theory of impact, statics and dynamics of a thin rod.
This textbook is aimed at students in mathematics and mechanics and at post-graduates and researchers in analytical mechanics.
N. N. Polyakhov (1906-1987), Doctor of Engineering Science, Professor. Honoured Scientist of the Russian Federation. He graduated from Moscow University, in 1929-1941 worked at Zhukovskii Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute under supervision of academician S.A. Chaplygin, he and V.P. Vetchinkin developed a mathematical model of marine screw propeller. In 1953-1978 he headed the Chair of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics of Leningrad University. Under his supervision there was written the textbook "Theoretical Mechanics", which was awarded the First premium of Leningrad University in 1987. N.N. Polyakhov was awarded a number of orders and medals, among them two Orders of Lenin, which was the highest decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union.
