De mechanica is een van die klassieke onderwerpen, waarmee iedere beoefenaar van de exacte wetenschappen in aanraking komt. In dit boek wordt een inleiding gegeven in dit vakgebied waarbij in elk hoofdstuk een deel van de algemene theorie wordt ontwikkeld. De theorie wordt geïllustreerd door een groot aantal klassieke voorbeelden zoals de planetenbeweging, de mathematische en de cycloïdale slinger, de bolslinger, de slinger van Foucault, wrijving en stootverschijnselen, de tolbeweging.Prof....

Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Eight Edition provides concise explanations of basic concepts combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This updated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning. The book includes new examples in many chapters, expanded use of the "aerodynamics around us" boxes to help put the content into proper context for students, and more coverage and use of computational methods like MA...

Ship Stability for Masters and Mates explores all aspects of ship stability and ship strength, squat, and interaction and trim, as well as materials stresses and forces. Organized into 56 chapters, the book looks at the relationship between ship stability and ship motion, with emphasis on group weights in a ship. It also explains how TPCs are calculated for a range of drafts extending beyond the light and loaded drafts, along with form coefficients, including the coefficient of fineness of th...
