The Rational Spirit in Modern Continuum Mechanicsby Chi-Sing Man; Roger L. Fosdick
Springer 2004; US$ 209.00Through his voluminous and influential writings, editorial activities, organizational leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford A. Truesdell (1919-2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of rational continuum mechanics since the middle of the 20th century. This collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. There are essays of personal reminiscences (including contributions from J. Serrin, W. Noll, and B.D. Coleman among others), as are papers at the forefronts of research in rational continuum mechanics and its applications to materials science and structural mechanics. With historical photographs, a curriculum... more...
Continuum Theoryby Alejandro Illanes; Sergio Macias; Wayne Lewis
Marcel Dekker Inc 2002; US$ 199.95Celebrating the work of mathematician Sam B. Nadler, this text examines advances in the analysis of compact connected metric spaces. It presents studies in hyperspaces, fixed point and mapping properties, embeddings, homogeneity and dynamic systems. more...
Mathematical Modeling in Continuum Mechanicsby Roger M. Temam; Alain Michael Miranville
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 57.00Temam and Miranville present core topics within the general themes of fluid and solid mechanics. The brisk style allows the text to cover a wide range of topics including viscous flow, magnetohydrodynamics, atmospheric flows, shock equations, turbulence, nonlinear solid mechanics, solitons, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. more...
Mathematical Methods in Electro-magneto-elasticityby D.I Bardzokas; M.L Filshtinsky; L.A. Filshtinsky
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2007; US$ 239.00The mechanics of Coupled Fields is a discipline at the edge of modern research connecting Continuum Mechanics with Solid State Physics. It integrates the Mechanics of Continuous Media, Heat Conductivity and the theory of Electromagnetism that are usually studied separately. For an accurate description of the influence of static and dynamic loadings, high temperatures and strong electromagnetic fields in elastic media and constructive installations, a new approach is required; an approach that has the potential to establish a synergism between the above mentioned fields. Throughout the book a vast number of problems are considered: two-dimensional problems of electro-magneto-elasticity as well as static and dynamical problems for piecewise homogenous... more...
Hydrodynamics of Explosionby Valery K. Kedrinskii
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 239.00Hydronamics of Explosion presents the research results for the problems of underwater explosions and contains a detailed analysis of the structure and the parameters of the wave fields generated by explosions of cord and spiral charges, a description of the formation mechanisms for a wide range of cumulative flows at underwater explosions near the free surface, and the relevant mathematical models. Shock-wave transformation in bubbly liquids, shock-wave amplification due to collision and focusing, and the formation of bubble detonation waves in reactive bubbly liquids are studied in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the investigation of wave processes in cavitating liquids, which incorporates the concepts of the strength of real liquids... more...
Nonlinear Continuaby Eduardo N. Dvorkin; Marcela B. Goldschmit
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 139.00Offers a presentation of Continuum Mechanics, oriented towards numerical applications in the nonlinear analysis of solids, structures and fluid mechanics. This book develops general curvilinear coordinator kinematics of the continuum deformation using general curvilinear coordinates. more...
Vibrations and Waves in Continuous Mechanical Systemsby Peter Hagedorn; Anirvan DasGupta
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 99.95The subject of vibrations is of fundamental importance in engineering and technology. Discrete modelling is sufficient to understand the dynamics of many vibrating systems; however a large number of vibration phenomena are far more easily understood when modelled as continuous systems. The theory of vibrations in continuous systems is crucial to the understanding of engineering problems in areas as diverse as automotive brakes, overhead transmission lines, liquid filled tanks, ultrasonic testing or room acoustics. Starting from an elementary level, Vibrations and Waves in Continuous Mechanical Systems helps develop a comprehensive understanding of the theory of these systems and the tools with which to analyse them, before progressing to... more...
Computational Continuum Mechanicsby Ahmed Shabana
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 32.00This book covers nonlinear continuum mechanics theory and its use in nonlinear computer formulations. more...
Car Audio For Dummiesby Doug Newcomb; Mike Mettler
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2008; US$ 24.99Thinking about a knockout audio system for your car? Not sure what you need, want, or can afford? Car Audio For Dummies is a great place to find some answers! But wait — what if speakers that vibrate your floorboards don’t turn you on? What if you’re thinking more about hands-free phone access and a DVD player to entertain the kids? Surprise!

Whether you want to feel as if your favorite band is performing right on top of your dashboard or you want to keep the soccer team entertained on the way to the tournament, this friendly guide can help. From planning your system and buying components to getting them installed and protecting your investment, you’ll find plenty... more...
From Hyperbolic Systems to Kinetic Theoryby Luc Tartar
Springer 2008; US$ 79.95Maxwell and Boltzmann created a kinetic theory of gases, using classical mechanics. This work examines modes used by energy, proves which equation governs each mode, and conjectures that the result may not look like the Boltzmann equation, and there can be more modes than those indexed by velocity. more...
