Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Classical mechanics; Mechanical engineering; Mechanics of solids

This classroom-tested text incorporates the variational formulation of mechanical models based on the principle of virtual work (PVW). All models are presented following the same sequence of steps, including kinematics, strain measurement, rigid body deformation, internal and external work, equilibrium, constitutive equations, and structural design. This presentation allows readers to establish a logical sequence for treating any mechanical problem. The author offers step-by-step explanations of the limitations and strengths of mechanical models and includes many real-world examples. MATLAB(R) programs are supplied to run the examples.

Marco L. Bittencourt has a PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Campinas in Brazil. He was a post-doc at the University of Kentucky and a visiting professor at the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. His main research area is computational mechanics with emphasis on non-linear structural mechanics, high-order finite elements, and high-performance computing applied to the design of engine components and more recently biomechanics.
