Fundamentals of analytical mechanics -- II. Principles of analytical mechanics -- III. The simple pendulum problem -- IV. Problems solved by means of the principle of virtual work -- V. Problems of variational calculus -- VI. Problems solved by means of the Lagrangian formalism -- VII. Problems of equilibrium and small oscillations -- VIII. Problems solved by means of the Hamiltonian formalism -- IX. Problems of continuous systems-- Appendices-- References N2 - This book presents a short theoretical description of the principles and methods of analytical mechanics, followed by solved problems. The authors thoroughly discuss solutions to the problems by taking a comprehensive approach to explore the methods of investigation. They carefully perform the calculations step by step, graphically displaying some solutions ER -
