Mathematical elasticity, 3
Elsevier Science 2000; US$ 175.00The objective of Volume III is to lay down the proper mathematical foundations of the two-dimensional theory of shells. To this end, it provides, without any recourse to any a priori assumptions of a geometrical or mechanical nature, a mathematical justification of two-dimensional nonlinear and linear shell theories, by means of asymptotic methods,... more...
Mathematical elasticity
Elsevier Science 1997; US$ 181.00The objective of Volume II is to show how asymptotic methods, with the thickness as the small parameter, indeed provide a powerful means of justifying two-dimensional plate theories. More specifically, without any recourse to any a priori assumptions of a geometrical or mechanical nature, it is shown that in the linear case, the three-dimensional... more...
Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformations
Springer 2008; US$ 79.99Offers an introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. This book presents the used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis. It particularizes the general theory of mechanical behavior for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity. more...
Mathematical elasticity
Elsevier Science 1988; US$ 131.00This volume is a thorough introduction to contemporary research in elasticity, and may be used as a working textbook at the graduate level for courses in pure or applied mathematics or in continuum mechanics. It provides a thorough description (with emphasis on the nonlinear aspects) of the two competing mathematical models of three-dimensional elasticity,... more...
Mathematical Problems in Elasticity and Homogenization
Elsevier Science 1992; US$ 125.00This monograph is based on research undertaken by the authors during the last ten years. The main part of the work deals with homogenization problems in elasticity as well as some mathematical problems related to composite and perforated elastic materials. This study of processes in strongly non-homogeneous media brings forth a large number of purely... more...
Theory of Elasticity
Springer 2010; US$ 249.99This invaluable treatise belongs to the cultural heritage of mechanics. It is an encyclopaedia of the classic and analytic approaches of continuum mechanics and of many domains of natural science. The book is unique also because an impressive number of methods and approaches it displays have been worked out by the author himself. In particular, this... more...
FINITE ELASTICITY AND VISCOELASTICITY
World Scientific Publishing Company 1996; US$ 134.00This book provides a systematic and self-consistent introduction to the nonlinear continuum mechanics of solids, from the main axioms to comprehensive aspects of the theory. The objective is to expose the most intriguing aspects of elasticity and viscoelasticity with finite strains in such a way as to ensure mathematical correctness, on the one hand,... more...
Computing Qualitatively Correct Approximations of Balance Laws
Springer 2013; US$ 99.99Substantial effort has been drawn for years onto the development of (possibly high-order) numerical techniques for the scalar homogeneous conservation law, an equation which is strongly dissipative in L1 thanks to shock wave formation. Such a dissipation property is generally lost when considering hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, or simply... more...
Non-Linear Theory of Elasticity
Elsevier Science 1990; US$ 229.00This book examines in detail the Theory of Elasticity which is a branch of the mechanics of a deformable solid. Special emphasis is placed on the investigation of the process of deformation within the framework of the generally accepted model of a medium which, in this case, is an elastic body. A comprehensive list of Appendices is included providing... more...
Elasticity
Elsevier Science 2010; US$ 94.95Although there are several books in print dealing with elasticity, many focus on specialized topics such as mathematical foundations, anisotropic materials, two-dimensional problems, thermoelasticity, non-linear theory, etc. As such they are not appropriate candidates for a general textbook. This book provides a concise and organized presentation... more...
