Applied mechanics

This book is the result of the experience of the writer in teaching the subject of Applied Mechanics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is primarily a text-book ; and hence the writer has endeavored to present the different subjects in such a way as seemed to him best for the progress of the class, even though it be at some sacrifice of a logical order of topics.

Mechanics and Materials Lecture Notes

This note provides an introduction to the mechanics of solids with applications to science and engineering. Itemphasize the three essential features of all mechanics analyses, namely: (a) the geometry of the motion and/or deformation of the structure, and conditions of geometric fit, (b) the forces on and within structures and assemblages; and (c) the physical aspects of the structural system which quantify relations between the forces and motions/deformation.

Engineering Mechanics I Lecture Notes

This note provides an introduction to the mechanics of materials and structures. You will be introduced to and become familiar with all relevant physical properties and fundamental laws governing the behavior of materials and structures and you will learn how to solve a variety of problems of interest to civil and environmental engineers. Topics covered includes: Galileo's problem, Dimensional analysis and atomic explosion, Newton's laws of motion, Continuum model, Beam stress model, Beam deformation, Beam elasticity and Fracture mechanics.

Introduction to Rock Mechanics

This note explores the nature of rocks and rock masses as construction, foundation, or engineering materials. Topics covered include: Physical properties of intact rocks, stresses and strains, thermal, hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks and rock masses, applications of theory of elasticity in rock mechanics, visco-elasticity, rock discontinuities, hemispherical projection methods, in situ stresses and stress measurements, rock slope engineering and underground excavations in rock.

The Elements of Mechanics

There is a strong emphasis of classical mechanics with closeness to physics and engineering. Among the topics explored: linear and nonlinear oscillators; quasi-periodic and multiperiodic motions; systems with constraints; Hamilton-Jacobi theory; integrable systems; stability problems of dissipative and conservative systems. Numerous exercises accompany the text, but the author assumes a knowledge of calculus.
