In their prior Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua, the authors provided a self-contained account of classical mechanics. This supplement and update offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics. The original book's focus on continuum mechanics forms the basis for this discussion of nonlinear continuous systems. 2006 edition.

This review is from: Nonlinear Mechanics: A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
A good introduction to nonlinear phenomena. The examples shown in the text present a wide selection from different areas of knowledge. This volume can be accesible to engineering and science students, but also can be a vauable source of information for graduate courses on dynamical systems.Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua

This review is from: Nonlinear Mechanics: A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This is the addendum book to Fetter and Walecka's "Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua". And it's continua-ly annoying! Whoooo! Anyway, I don't like this book. Very few examples, very few questions for each chapter, and I didn't think it was presented in decent way.

This review is from: Nonlinear Mechanics: A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This book analyzes very complicated systems concisely, which I presume is why it is a supplement. Get this book if you're interested in the various solutions to certain complex systems and are not afraid of advanced mathematics.
