Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the statics and dynamics of deformable solid bodies, this book presents a refined approach applicable to small bodies in the Solar System. It addresses key phenomena in planetary science, such as disruptions during planetary fly-bys, the equilibrium shapes and stability of rubble bodies, and the effects of spin on shape changes. With ongoing and upcoming space missions, the exploration of these topics is increasingly relevant, enhancing our understanding of our celestial neighborhood.
