Vectors and Tensors in Engineering and Physics
Vectors and Tensors in Engineering and Physics Author:D. A. Danielson, Donald A. Danielson Vectors and Tensors in Engineering and Physics develops the calculus of tensor fields and uses this mathematics to model the physical world. This new edition includes expanded derivations and solutions, and new applications. The book provides equations for predicting: the rotations of gyroscopes and other axisymmetric solids; the temperat... more »ure decays in quenched forgings; the deformed shapes of twisted rods and bent beams; the flow fields in cylindrical pipes; the trajectories of celestial objects; the electromagnetic fields of stationary and moving charged particles; the stress in the skin when it is stretched; the effects of motion and gravitation upon the times of clocks. The book also features over 100 illustrations, complete solutions to over 400 examples and problems, cartesian components, general components, and components-free notations, lists of notations used by other authors, boxes to highlight key equations, historical notes and an extensive bibliography.« less
