• Dynamics of Discrete Mechanical Systems.- Dynamics of Continuous Mechanical Systems.- Other Considerations on Dynamics of Mechanical Systems.- Dynamics of the Rigid Solid.- Dynamics of the Rigid Solid with a Fixed Point.- Other Considerations on the Dynamics of the Rigid Solid.- Dynamics of Systems of Rigid Solids.

From the reviews: "The second volume deals with mechanical systems of particles ... . General theorems and conservation theorems are given. As one of important applications, the author discusses the problem of n particles. ... As applications, motions of threads and straight bars are studied. ... The book is written clearly ... and its study does not require any special mathematical knowledge. It is intelligible and useful to a large community of scientists, engineers and students." (Boris Ivanovich Konosevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1158, 2009)
