Dynamics of Rods

The volume is devoted to the dynamics of rods, which is a branch of mech- ics of deformable bodies. The main goal of the book is to present systema- cally theoretical fundamentals of the mechanics of rods as well as numerical methods used for practical purposes. Linear and nonlinear equations governing a rod''s oscillations are p- sented. Methods of determining eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in co...
