Synopsis
Excerpt from Higher Mechanics
This book treats of three-dimensional Kinematics, Statics, and Dynamics in what is I think a natural, as I have found it to be a convenient, order. It may be regarded as a sequel to two former treatises to which occasional reference is made; but it is not dependent on these, and will I trust be readily followed by students who are conversant with ordinary two-dimensional Mechanics.
The subject is of course a very wide one, and some principle of selection is necessary. I have tried to confine myself to matters of genuine kinematical or dynamical importance, avoiding developments whose interest, often considerable, is purely mathematical or now mainly historical. It is owing to such considerations that whilst some account is given of the Theory of Screws, of Null-Systems, and of Least Action, on the other hand brachistochrone problems, and the general theory of the Differential Equations of Dynamics, are left untouched.
The book does not claim to be more than an elementary one, regard being had to the nature of the subject. The reader who wishes to carry his studies further will find ample assistance in Thomson and Tait, in Rayleigh's Theory of Sound, and in Whittaker's Analytical Dynamics. And in common with other recent writers I must mention with a special sense of obligation the works of Routh, which in their later forms are an almost inexhaustible store-house of theorems and results, and abound in interesting historical references.
I have to thank Mr J. E. Jones, M.Sc., of the Manchester University, for his assistance in the revision of the proof sheets, and for many valuable suggestions. I am much indebted also to the staff of the Cambridge Press for their careful supervision of the printing, and for calling my attention to various oversights.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the abstract concept of rigid body movement through the lens of three-dimensional kinematics, statics, and dynamics. Through the author's development of finite and infinitesimal displacements, a natural order of topics unfolds, building upon and contextualizing prior ideas. In doing so, the book not only explores the theoretical underpinnings of rigid body mechanics, but also provides numerous examples and applications to practical problems. A unique feature of this book is its early dedication of several chapters to finite displacements, seldom seen in books of this nature. This inclusion serves to provide deeper insight into and enhance understanding of the infinitesimal displacement discussions which follow. The author also offers helpful comparisons between concepts in rigid body dynamics with those in statics and provides historical context for many of the ideas presented. This book will be a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. Its clear and comprehensive treatment of the subject, along with its numerous worked examples, makes it an essential reference for those seeking a deeper understanding of rigid body mechanics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330254707_0
