This book employs an approximate approach that can be systematically
improved to investigate the statics and dynamics of deformable solid
bodies. We apply these methods to investigate various phenomena
encountered in planetary science that include disruptions during planetary
fly-bys, equilibrium shapes, and nutational damping. With several space
missions underway, and more being planned, interest in our immediate
neighbourhood is growing. We feel that our flexible procedure may help
gain valuable insight into the mechanics of solar system bodies, while at
the same time complementing numerical investigations. The technique itself
is built upon the virial method employed advantageously by Chandrasekhar
(1969) for studying the equilibrium shapes of spinning fluid objects.
However, we modify Chandrasekhar's approach to study more complex
dynamical situations and include objects of different rheologies, e.g.
granular aggregates. The book itself requires basic familiarity with
celestial mechanics and solild mechanics, though it is to a great extent
self -contained.
