Specifikacia Nonlinear Mechanics: A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua Fetter Alexander L.Paperback
In their prior Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua, Alexander L. Fetter and John Dirk Walecka provided a lucid and self-contained account of classical mechanics, together with appropriate mathematical methods. This supplement -- an update of that volume -- offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics.The original book's focus on continuum mechanics -- with chapters on sound waves in fluids, surface waves on fluids, heat conduction, and viscous fluids -- forms the basis for this supplement's discussion of nonlinear continuous systems. Topics include linearized stability analysis; a detailed examination of the Rayleigh-B nard problem, from its formulation to issues of linearized theory of convective instability and expansion in Fourier modes; and the direct derivation of Lorenz equations for simple physical configuration.
