Analytical Mechanics Author : Nivaldo A. It includes rigorous mathematical and physical explanations while maintaining an interdisciplinary engineering focus. Applied problems and exercises in mechanical, mechatronic, aerospace, electrical, and control engineering are included throughout and the book provides detailed techniques for designing models of different robotic, electrical, defense, and aerospace systems. The book starts with multiple chapters covering kinematics before moving onto coverage of dynamics and non-inertial and variable mass systems.
The book concludes with a chapter outlining various electromechanical models that readers can implement and adapt themselves. It presents classical mechanics in a way designed to assist the student's transition to quantum theory.
It deals with all the important subjects encountered in an undergraduate course and thoroughly prepares the reader for further study at graduate level. The authors set out the fundamentals of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics early in the book and go on to cover such topics as linear oscillators, planetary orbits, rigid-body motion, small vibrations, nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and special relativity. A special feature is the inclusion of many "e-mail questions," which are intended to facilitate dialogue between the student and instructor.
It includes many worked examples, and there are homework exercises to help students gain confidence and proficiency in problem-solving. It addresses such fundamental questions as: Is the solar system stable? Is there a unifying "economy" principle in mechanics?
How can a point mass be described as a "wave"? This book was written to fill a gap between elementary expositions and more advanced and clearly more stimulating material. It takes the challenge to explain the most relevant ideas and to show the most important applications using plain language and "simple" mathematics, often through an original approach. Basic calculus is enough for the reader to proceed through the book and when more is required, the new mathematical concepts are illustrated, again in plain language.
The book is conceived in such a way that some difficult chapters can be bypassed, whilst still grasping the main ideas. However, anybody wishing to go deeper in some directions will find at least the flavour of recent developments and many bibliographical references. Theory is always accompanied by examples.
Many problems are suggested and some are completely worked out at the end of each chapter. The book may effectively be used and it is in several Italian Universities for undergraduate as well as for PhD courses in Physics and Mathematics at various levels.

The methods that I explain in it require neither constructions nor geometrical or mechanical arguments, but only the algebraic operations inherent to a regular and uniform process. Those who love Analysis will, with joy, see mechanics become a new branch of it and will be grateful to me for having extended its field.
These will be introduced as needed. This is easily extended to many particles, and hence momentum is conserved in the absence of external forces. If the amount of work done is independent of the actual C path, depending only upon the end-points, then we have a conservative force.
Gravity and static electric forces are conservative; friction is non-conservative. A A dt m pA dt m pA So work is the change in kinetic energy. If the process is reversible, we can let the work be performed on us, such as with a compressed spring, or a weight on a lever. Thus we can store the work, and later convert it back to kinetic energy. This reference point is essentially arbitrary, but care must be taken if you shift the reference point, because it is a shift in the zero level.
This gives a negative potential at the surface of the earth. Only the difference in two potentials gives a definite energy value; without taking a difference there is always an arbitrary additive constant, due to the reference point. The gradient operator kills off the reference level associated with the potential, so we get the true force. This would not be the case if the potential depended upon time or velocity, as the additional terms from the time derivative would not cancel.
The mechanics of Newton are carried out with forces, which are represented as vectors. But the kinetic and potential energies are scalar quantities, and we have seen that forces and the magnitude of the momentum can be recovered from them. In order to further explore the expressions of mechanics in terms of energies, we must first review derivatives, and the construction of generalized coordinate systems.
The fundamental idea is that you must compound the rates of change through each extant parametric dependence; each of these is just the simple chain rule. In that case the non-varying terms vanish. This is especially common in thermodynamics, where the chemist is able to control the volume or the pressure.
The notation must be adapted to indicate the held variables to avoid ambiguities. This name reminds you that the result of a total derivative can be integrated with respect to that parameter to recover the original function. We will see later that the total derivative gives the rate of change along the parameterized path; this type of parameterization results in implicit variations with respect to time for moving objects.
Repeat problem 2 , but take the partial derivatives with respect to z. Recall equation 2. Now condsider the case of a bicycle rider passing through. There are two aspects to this map: a geometric path, and d temporal position along the path. Note that the time is what ties the bicyclist to a specific temperature, and that the second term is a directional derivative, in the direction of travel, scaled by speed.
As the best linear estimator for F, this is what we want for a generalized derivative. These properties make the determinant of the Jacobian matrix the best estimator for volume changes, hence its use as the volume adjustment for change of variables in an integral. A fluid is incompressible if the divergence of its flow is zero. Applies to rotations and circuital flows. If we apply a side condition, or constraint to the space dn in which we are working, then we must search for stationary points in the constrained space.
If we looked at all of the possible curves passing through x0 , and their derivatives there, we would have found the tangent plane at x0 , for S. This does not mean that they are parallel to each other, for we would expect the constraints to be independent of each other. This is reviewed in a more geometric setting in the following supplement. Several examples are shown here. The plot above is shown with simple contour lines, and with color shading. When the terrain is very steep, you see many contour lines very close together.
But the directional derivative is the inner product of the gradient with the direction vector, so they must be orthogonal. This means that the gradient is normal to every level curve and level surface. Look closely at the figures above, and find the steepest gradients, where the level curves are closest together. At these points it will be most obvious that the gradient must be running perpendicular to the level curves, but it is true everywhere. Now consider any directional derivative at these extreme points: it must be zero in every direction, because you are at a stationary point of the surface in every direction.
The integral is a surface integral, which uses the function F to weight each of the surface normal vectors, which are then summed. The result is the net weight of the changes in F for every direction at the point enclosed by the shrinking volume. So we know that the gradient of G is normal to this surface.
The level curve of f which intersects the level curve of g at the highest point is a local maximum. This is a necessary condition for the location of a stationary point subject to a level-curve constraint.
Often the values of the multipliers are not required, and for this reason the method is known as the Lagrange method of undetermined multipliers. Method of Lagrange Multipliers 1. Plug in all solutions x, y, z from the first step into f x, y, z and identify the extreme values. Perhaps we only have so much wrapping paper available! First we must formulate the object function, f x, y, z , which is the volume of the box.
We will also required each side to have a positive length, because this is a real box. If you multiply the first by x, the second by y, and the third by z , you end up with the same expression on the left hand side of all three, so the right hand sides are all equal.
So the largest volume rectangular box with a given surface area is surprise! Note that the constraint here is the inequality for the disk. The first step is to find all the critical points of f that are in the disk i.
The only critical point is 0, 0 , and it satisfies the constraint. Now proceed with Lagrange Multipliers and treat the constraint as an equality instead of an inequality. We deal with the inequality when finding the critical points.
These are all on the boundary. The minimum is in the interior, and the maximum is on the boundary of the disk. For example, we could be constrained to the surface of a sphere. Note that we have also assumed that there is no dependence upon the coordinate velocities, the qi. It is not necessarily the same as mechanical momentum. In this chapter we have looked at a minimal set of generalized coordinates, having used the equations of constraint to remove coordinates beyond those required for the number of degrees of freedom natural to the problem.
However, it is not always easy or convenient to find generalized coordinates which match the DOF; in those cases we will use a clever method due to Lagrange for working with a surplus of coordinates, the method of undetermined multipliers. An Introduction to the Calculus of Variations The calculus of variations is a mathematical technique, but it was motivated by physical considerations.
He had the figure of a continuous chain of balls which rests on an asymmetric ramp engraved on his tomb. Will the unbalanced weights cause the chain to move? Consider a virtual displacement, where we move each ball clockwise by one position. Since the configuration is unchanged by this action, there was no net work performed … thus the chain is in equilibrium, and nothing moves. This reasoning is an application of an early version of the Principle of Virtual Work.
If it is a minima, we have a stable equilibrium; if a maximum, it is unstable, otherwise it is neutral. Lanczos shows how to derive all of the laws of statics from the Principle of Virtual Work.
The impressed forces and the unknown trajectories together ensure that no work is done by the constraints. The calculus of variations provides tools for a related task: identification of functions which make an integral stationary over a path.
Instead of operating in a space of points, we now operate in a space of functions. We will only consider weak variations which are defined as arbitrary functions constrained only by continuity conditions and a requirement that they vanish at the end- points of the integration; that is, there are fixed boundary conditions on the integrals. The end result will be a partial differential equation PDE in y and its derivatives; the solutions of this PDE are the functions which make the integral stationary under weak variations.
Putting this back into 5. We again arrive at the Euler-Lagrange differential equation. The beginning and ending positions are fixed via the definite times of the integration. The goal is to determine the qk t , the trajectories, subject to 5.
Thus the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion hold for all of the generalized coordinates. It may be possible and convenient to algebraically eliminate some or all of the constraints, thereby reducing the number of generalized coordinates, but we may prefer to keep some of the surplus coordinates due to their natural interpretation or other reasons, such as symmetry.
The Lagrange multipliers can be determined with the aid of the equations of constraint, if required. In the present case the constraints have been converted from equations to total differentials, which are called holonomic constraints. If the constraints were given in the form of non-integrable differential form, they are called nonholonomic, and the same method applies.
The principle difference is that the generalized forces from holonomic constraints are derivable from a potential, which is conservative if it does not depend upon explicit time; Lanczos calls these monogenic forces.
The generalized forces corresponding to nonholonomic constraints are polygenic, and cannot be derived from a potential. Gravity is a monogenic force; friction is polygenic. In the next lesson we will solve some problems involving constraints. Since the rolling ball is accelerating, these latter cannot be found from the weight alone; we will also have to consider the torque. The additional concept required is that of the torque of the rolling ball, lumped at the center of mass. This position is marked on 17 the diagram with a dot.
There is only one constraint, so there is just one undetermined multiplier. The goal is to properly describe the system. For extra credit, write the equations of motion for each system. Then illustrate the solutions by establishing typical initial conditions.
The key steps are: a. Select generalized coordinates that are natural to the problem; sketch the problem b. Express the kinetic and potential energy in terms of the generalized coordinates c. Write the Lagrangian in terms of a and b d.
Write the Lagrange equations of motion for each of the generalized coordinates 1. A mass M is free to slide along a horizontal rod, distance from origin is X. A mass m hangs from a rod of length R, attached to a pivot on mass M such that it is free to swing in the plane of the formed by the horizontal rod and the freely hanging rod. Ignore the inertia of the hanging rod, and friction.
