Mechanics of Generalized Continua
Springer 2010; US$ 139.00In their 1909 publication "Theorie des corps deformables", Eugene and Francois Cosserat made a historic contribution to materials science by establishing the fundamental principles of the mechanics of generalized continua. The chapters collected in this volume showcase the many areas of continuum mechanics that grew out of the foundational... more...
Nonsmooth Modeling and Simulation for Switched Circuits
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99"Nonsmooth Modeling and Simulation for Switched Circuits" concerns the modeling and the numerical simulation of switched circuits with the nonsmooth dynamical systems (NSDS) approach, using piecewise-linear and multivalued models of electronic devices like diodes, transistors, switches. Numerous examples (ranging from introductory academic... 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...
Mechanics and Electrodynamics of Magneto- and Electro-elastic Materials
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99This volume presents a state-of-the-art overview of the continuum theory of both electro- and magneto-sensitive elastomers and polymers, which includes mathematical and computational aspects of the modelling of these materials from the point of view of material properties and, in particular, the 'smart-material' control of their mechanical... more...
