Conference held by the Office of Naval Research, June 1984 Papers fall roughly into seven groups: one-dimensional transient problems, inverse problems in the frequency domain, multiparameter estimates for layered media, inverse problems as optimization problems, algorithms based on linearization and/or high-frequency asymptotics, numerical solution of boundary value problems, and modeling issues.

<p><p>This book describes the basic concepts and principles of classical mechanics in the intermediate level. Given the perspective that&nbsp;different mechanical problems require an appropriate approach drawn from various methods or principles, a textbook discussing&nbsp;multiple&nbsp;methods or principles in mechanics is highly desirable.&nbsp;Additionally, a good textbook should include historical&nbsp;context&nbsp;on the motivation and the development of the methods or principles, allowing students to gain insights that may help them discover new theories. However, after many years of teaching Dynamics in the graduate school, the authors&nbsp;were unable to&nbsp;find a suitable&nbsp;intermediate-level textbook on classical mechanics, which&nbsp;motivated them to begin writing this book.&nbsp;For the&nbsp;aforementioned reasons, this book includes the descriptions of various methods or principles in mechanics, such as the Newton-Euler Principle, the d'Alembert Principle, Lagrangian methods, Gauss's Principle of Least Constraint, the Gibbs-Appell equation, Jourdain's equation, the Principle of Virtual Power, the Appell-Kane method, the Hamilton Principle, and the Hamiltonian mechanics, among others. Moreover, many historical remarks on the motivation and the development of the methods or principles are given in this book, as well as&nbsp;numerous&nbsp;applications. The authors also believe that in&nbsp;studying&nbsp;the motion of a material body, different models may be used depending on the application. If the position of the body is of interest, a particle model may be chosen. If the orientation or attitude of the body is under consideration, a rigid body model should be adopted. If deformation is a concern, a model of deformable body should be applied.&nbsp;Consequently,&nbsp;a book in mechanics for engineers should encompass&nbsp;a variety of&nbsp;models of the body, ranging from particles to continua such as solids or fluids.&nbsp;This book also meets that need.</p></p>
