Dynamical Equations, Invariants and Spectrum Generating Algebras of Mechanical Systems with Position-Dependent Mass [PDF]
We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass.

What is liquid? Lyapunov instability reveals symmetry-breaking irreversibilities hidden within Hamilton's many-body equations of motion [PDF]
Typical Hamiltonian liquids display exponential "Lyapunov instability", also called "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". Although Hamilton's equations are thoroughly time-reversible, the forward and backward Lyapunov instabilities can differ ...

Size-dependent Nonlinear Forced Vibration Analysis of Viscoelastic/Piezoelectric Nano-beam [PDF]
In this paper, the nonlinear forced vibration of isotropic viscoelastic/ piezoelectric Euler-Bernoulli nano-beam is investigated. For this purpose, the consistent couple stress theory is utilized for modeling the viscoelastic/piezoelectric nano-beam ...

‘Uncertainty’ principle in two fluid–mechanics [PDF]
Hamilton’s principle (or principle of stationary action) is one of the basic modelling tools in finite-degree-of-freedom mechanics. It states that the reversible motion of mechanical systems is completely determined by the corresponding Lagrangian which ...

Hamilton–Jacobi Equations [PDF]
Hamilton–Jacobi equations are treated in the fifth chapter. Hamilton–Jacobi equations, their solutions, and the case of a time independent Hamiltonian are first recalled. Thirteen exercises are then solved, namely on a third harmonic oscillator, on a free falling particle, on a projectile ballistic flight, on a particle sliding on an inclined plane, on

Theory of Generalized Canonical Transformations for Birkhoff Systems
Transformation is an important means to study problems in analytical mechanics. It is often difficult to solve dynamic equations, and the use of variable transformation can make the equations easier to solve. The theory of canonical transformations plays

Exact solution for frequency equations of radial and transverse vibration of a circular plate with various boundary conditions [PDF]
In this study, closed-form relations are obtained for the frequency equations of radial (in-plane) and transverse (out-ofâplane) free vibration of a circular plate with free, simply-support, and clamped boundary conditions.
