Generalized Continua - from the Theory to Engineering Applications
Springer 2012; US$ 199.99On the roots of continuum mechanics in differential geometry -- a review.- Cosserat media.- Cosserat-type shells.- Cosserat-type rods.- Micromorphic media.- Electromagnetism and generalized continua.- Computational methods for generalized continua.The need of generalized continua models is coming from practice. Complex material behavior sometimes cannot... more...
Thermodynamics of Materials with Memory
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99This is a work in four parts, dealing with the mechanics and thermodynamics of materials with memory, including properties of the dynamical equations which describe their evolution in time under varying loads. The first part is an introduction to Continuum Mechanics with sections dealing with classical Fluid Mechanics and Elasticity, linear and non-linear.... more...
Mathematical Methods in Electro-magneto-elasticity
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2007; US$ 189.99The 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,... more...
Variational Principles of Continuum Mechanics
Springer 2009; US$ 79.99Reviews the variational approach's use as a universal tool to describe physical phenomena and as a source for qualitative and quantitative methods of studying particular problems. This book considers mathematical issues as long as they focus on the physical outcomes and/or provide a useful technique for the direct study of variational problems. more...

Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics and Large Inelastic Deformations
Springer 2010; US$ 179.99This book provides a rigorous axiomatic approach to continuum mechanics under large deformation. In addition to the classical nonlinear continuum mechanics - kinematics, fundamental laws, the theory of functions having jump discontinuities across singular surfaces, etc. - the book presents the theory of co-rotational derivatives, dynamic deformation... more...
Nonlinear Continua
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 129.99Offers 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...
Scaling Limits in Statistical Mechanics and Microstructures in Continuum Mechanics
Springer 2008; US$ 84.99Collective behavior in systems with many components, blow-ups with emergence of microstructures are proofs of the double, continuum and atomistic, nature of macroscopic systems, an issue which has always intrigued scientists and philosophers. Modern technologies have made the question more actual and concrete with recent, remarkable progresses also... more...
Mathematical Theory of Elasticity of Quasicrystals and Its Applications
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99This inter-disciplinary work covering the continuum mechanics of novel materials, condensed matter physics and partial differential equations discusses the mathematical theory of elasticity of quasicrystals (a new condensed matter) and its applications by setting up new partial differential equations of higher order and their solutions under complicated... more...
