Honors Classical Mechanics
A modern introduction to classical mechanics that allows students to develop confidence, a broad mathematical tool kit, and a correct physical intuition while working in a collaborative and supportive environment Undergraduate physics students must often "unlearn" aspects of classical mechanics as they progress through college and graduate school. This book, by introducing classical mechanics as the limiting case in special relativity of an infinite speed of light, eliminates the need for such backtracking. Starting with time/space, and energy/momentum, the book allows students to solve problems addressing modern topics of research in astronomy, cosmology, and particle physics. The text then derives Newtonian mechanics, and covers the full syllabus of a conventional introductory course, but at a deeper level of mathematical sophistication for topics such as rigid body and planetary motion. Extensive mathematical appendixes are integrated into the text, as are curated problems sets in each chapter. The book is intended as a long-overdue revision of both the curriculum and pedagogy of the traditional introductory honors classical mechanics course.Begins with special relativity as a "leveler" that puts all students at the same starting pointRelies on cooperative learning rather than a competitive "weed-out" mentalityEmphasizes developing mathematical tools as a precise and powerful language in the context of developing a correct intuition and better understanding of physical phenomenaEnables a more rapid path through the conventional undergraduate physics curriculum, preparing students for advanced courses in science and engineering

Mechanics of Ferromagnetoelastic Materials and Structures
This book presents macroscopic theories of magnetoelastic interactions in solids, mainly for saturated ferromagnetoelastic materials. In these materials, the distributed magnetic moments are aligned and have a fixed magnitude. A disturbance of the magnetic moments propagates as what is called spin waves. In elastic ferromagnets, acoustic waves may interact with spin waves, which is referred to as phonon-magnon interaction. Continuum modeling of magnetoelastic interactions in saturated ferromagnets has a few unique and interesting features. In addition to the magnetic body force and couple on the magnetic moments, the short-range interaction among neighboring magnetic moments may be described by distributed surface couples. This leads to a magnetization gradient theory. The angular momenta associated with the magnetic moments need to be considered for spin waves. In addition, the saturation condition on the magnetization vector functions as a constraint mathematically, which has important implications in the constitutive relations of these materials.The book discusses the relatively simple situation of rigid ferromagnets first and then proceeds to elastic ferromagnets. Thermal and dissipative effects as well as interactions with electromagnetic waves are also considered. Structural problems of elastic plates and beams with magnetoelastic interactions are treated as well.
