Rational and Applied Mechanics: Volume 2. Special Problems and Applications

This two-volume course on theoretical and applied mechanics is a primary teaching resource for engineering and maths students at St. Petersburg University. It covers classical branches of theoretical mechanics and advanced topics, special problems, and applications, including stability of motion, nonlinear oscillations, dynamics and statics of the Stewart platform, mechanics under random forces, control theory, nonholonomic mechanics, vibration and autobalancing of rotor systems, impact physics, and thin rod mechanics.

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 mathematics 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.
