Description
ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Discrete Mechanics 2015 Edition by Jean-Paul Caltagirone
This book presents the fundamental principles of mechanics tore-establish the equations of Discrete Mechanics. It introducesphysics and thermodynamics associated to the physicalmodeling. The development and the complementarity of scienceslead to review today the old concepts that were the basis for thedevelopment of continuum mechanics. The differential geometry isused to review the conservation laws of mechanics. For instance,this formalism requires a different location of vector and scalarquantities in space. The equations of Discrete Mechanics form asystem of equations where the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition playsan important role.
