Given the perspective that different mechanical problems require an appropriate approach drawn from various methods or principles, a textbook discussing multiple methods or principles in mechanics is highly desirable. Additionally, a good textbook should include historical context 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 were unable to find a suitable intermediate-level textbook on classical mechanics, which motivated them to begin writing this book. For the 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 numerous applications. The authors also believe that in studying 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. Consequently, a book in mechanics for engineers should encompass a variety of models of the body, ranging from particles to continua such as solids or fluids. This book also meets that need. 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aPhysics 606 $aClassical Mechanics 606 $aEngineering Mechanics 606 $aClassical and Continuum Physics 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aClassical Mechanics. 615 24$aEngineering Mechanics. 615 24$aClassical and Continuum Physics. 676 $a531 700 $aPao$b Yih-Hsing$01802830 701 $aWang$b Lisheng$01888499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910992790603321 996 $aIntermediate Classical Mechanics$94527441 997 $aUNINA
