Download or read book Dynamics of Machines with Variable Mass written by L Cveticanin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-10-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to be a complete and integrated text on the dynamic properties of machines, mechanisms, and rotors with variable mass, this book presents new results from investigations based on the general dynamics of systems with variable parameters. The book considers both weak and strong nonlinear vibrations of these systems, and chaotic phenomena are also discussed. The conservation laws and adiabatic invariants for systems with variable mass are formulated and the stability and instability conditions of motion are defined.
