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...
Mechanics, Tensors and Virtual Worksby Y R Talpaert
Cambridge International Science Publishing 2004; US$ 100.00This book is the ideal mathematical and mechanical preparation for the above-mentioned specialized disciplines. This is a course of Analytical Mechanics which synthesizes the notions of first level mechanics and leads to the various mentioned disciplines by introducing mathematical concepts as tensor and virtual work methods. Analytical mechanics is not only viewed as a self-sufficient mathematical discipline, but as a subject of mechanics preparing for theories of physics and engineering too. 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...
Classical Mechanicsby Tom W B Kibble; Frank H Berkshire
World Scientific 2004; US$ 88.40This is the fifth edition of a well-established textbook. It is intended to provide a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of classical mechanics, an old subject that is at the base of all of physics, but in which there has also in recent years been rapid development. 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...
Classical Mechanicsby R. Douglas Gregory
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 62.00Gregory's Classical Mechanics is a thorough, self-contained and highly readable account of a subject many students find difficult. The author's clear and systematic style promotes a good understanding of the subject: each concept is motivated and illustrated by worked examples, while problem sets provide ample practice for understanding and technique. 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...
IUTAM Symposium on Chaotic Dynamics and Control of Systems and Processes in Mechanicsby G. Rega; F. Vestroni
Springer 2006; US$ 249.00It is accepted that nonlinear vibration problems of advanced systems should be addressed through the combined use of analytical, computational, geometrical and experimental approaches. Areas covered include: Bifurcation and chaos, mechanical and structural systems, nonsmooth dynamics, delay and random systems, and more. 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...
