This book of problems and solutions in classical mechanics is dedicated to junior or senior undergraduate students in physics, engineering, applied mathematics, astronomy, or chemistry who may want to improve their problems solving skills, or to freshman graduate students who may be seeking a refresh of the material. The book is structured in ten chapters, starting with Newton's laws, motion with air resistance, conservation laws, oscillations and the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Formalisms. The last two chapters introduce some ideas in nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and special relativity. Each chapter starts with a brief theoretical outline, and continues with problems and detailed solutions. A brief presentation of differential equations can be found in the appendix. A variety of problems are presented, from the standard classical mechanics problems, to context rich problems and more challenging problems.

This book provides a detailed analysis of human movement, building from simple physical models to more complex analyses and biomechanical models, including forces internal to the body. The book integrates principles of Physics with the functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to understand how movement in general, and dance movements specifically, can be executed to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

Cet ouvrage propose une approche novatrice des théories de la physique macroscopique basée sur la physique des milieux continus et des systèmes dynamiques uniformes. Il présente la physique en tant que science des systèmes, applicable dans différentes disciplines telles que les sciences de la terre, la biologie, l’ingénierie chimique et l’énergétique, la médecine ou l’écologie, domaines dans lesquels les sciences physiques, une approche systémique, et la modélisation, simulation et analyse de systèmes dynamiques jouent un rôle.L’ouvrage traite des systèmes dynamiques dans les fluides, l’électricité, la chaleur, les processus chimiques, ainsi que lors de l’étude des mouvements de rotation et de translation. Il offre également une présentation de la théorie classique des champs. Il propose enfin plusieurs études de cas, et se clôt par un résumé traitant des équations de bilan appliquées aux processus dynamiques.Chaque sujet est développé à partir d’une perspective imagée et narrative, puis formalisé. Les idées visant à l’élaboration des concepts et des relations sont suggérées et introduites sur la base de descriptions et de données relatives à des phénomènes dynamiques concrets.Richement illustré de centaines de schémas couleur, ce manuel tout spécialement conçu pour les étudiants en sciences de Bachelor et de Master des universités et des hautes écoles spécialisées intéressera également les enseignants et les praticiens à la recherche d’une référence en la matière. - 4e de couverture

Geodynamics of the Alps consists of three volumes. The first volume describes the recent and present-day structure and tectonic setting of the Alpine chain, from the lithospheric mantle to brittle crust and surface topography. It also provides a historical overview of Alpine research, with two chapters covering specific Alpine regions (Corsica and the Eastern Alps) through all phases of Alpine history. The second volume presents the pre-collisional history of the Alps. It discusses the Variscan orogeny in the Alpine realm, the inferred paleo-geography, the structure and processes affecting continental margins and the mantle structure in the pre-orogenic Alpine realm. It concludes by describing oceanic and continental subduction processes. The third volume is entirely dedicated to Alpine collision. It describes and interprets elements of the Alpine chain, including Alpine magmatism, the formation of external massifs, the foreland basin, the exhumation of the internal part of the chain and the northern deformation front of the Alps.
