Abstract
In the following last chapters, we will again widen the scope of our investigations by considering the motion of particles, masses and bodies, and the forces acting on these moving bodies. In Chapter 1, we discussed the equations of motion and the balance of energy of bodies in motion (Sections 1.5 and 1.6), and we introduced the principle of virtual work for statical problems (Section 1.7). We shall now extend this principle from statics to dynamics by adding to the equations of motion — on the right-hand side — the acceleration (inertia) terms, which have been disregarded when determining Eq. (1.85).
