Intermediate Dynamics - A Linear Algebraic Approach (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)

As the name implies, Intermediate Dynamics: A Linear Algebraic Approach views intermediate dynamics - Newtonian 3-D rigid body dynamics and analytical mechanics - from the perspective of the mathematical field. This is particularly useful in the former: the inertia matrix can be determined through simple translation (via the Parallel Axis Theorem) and rotation of axes using rotation matrices. The inertia matrix can then be determined for simple bodies from tabulated moments of inertia in the principal axes; even for bodies whose moments of inertia can be found only numerically, this procedure allows the inertia tensor to be expressed in arbitrary axes - something particularly important in the analysis of machines, where different bodies' principal axes are virtually never parallel. To understand these principal axes (in which the real, symmetric inertia tensor assumes a diagonalized normal form), virtually all of Linear Algebra comes into play.
