Mechanical Engineering Crash Course - Classical Mechanics and Hamiltonian Formulations

Master Classical & Hamiltonian Mechanics Fast - 44 Stand-Alone Chapters, 400+ Practice Problems & Real-World Mechanical Engineering Applications

Why You'll Want This on Your Desk Tonight

Feeling overwhelmed by dynamics equations, Lagrangian derivations, or those late-night vibration problems?

This powerhouse reference compresses an entire upper-level mechanical engineering curriculum into an ultra-focused, results-driven guide. Whether you're racing toward an exam deadline, designing machinery that can't fail, or simply craving a deeper command of motion, this text delivers the clarity and confidence you need-without the fluff.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Step-by-step walkthroughs for Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian formulations-bridge the gap from first principles to advanced analytical mechanics in record time.

• 400+ exam-grade practice problems-hone calculation speed, conceptual insight, and real-world engineering judgment simultaneously.

• High-impact topics engineers demand: rigid-body dynamics, mass moment of inertia, gyroscopic stability, single & multi-DOF vibrations, symplectic integrators, Poisson brackets, Hamilton-Jacobi methods, action-angle variables, and more.

What You'll Master

• Vector calculus & coordinate transformations
• Work-energy, power, momentum, and impulse techniques
• Variable-mass rockets, rotating frames, Coriolis & centrifugal effects
• Mass moment of inertia, planar and 3-D rigid-body motion
• Undamped, damped, and forced vibrations; resonance suppression
• Variational principles, Euler-Lagrange equations, constraint forces
