Continuum mechanics: advanced topics and research trends

This book offers a broad overview of the potential of continuum mechanics to describe a wide range of macroscopic phenomena in real-world problems. Building on the fundamentals presented in the authors’ previous book Continuum Mechanics using Mathematica, this new work explores interesting models of continuum mechanics having applications in a wide variety of fields. Aimed at advanced graduate students, applied mathematicians, mathematical physicists, and engineers, the work will be an excellent self-study reference or supplementary textbook in graduate-level courses focusing on advanced topics and research trends in continuum mechanics. May be used as a textbook for graduate courses in continuum mechanics, nonlinear elasticity, mixture, theory, phase changes, and electromagnetism in continuum Mathematica® notebooks accompanying the text are available for download at http://www/birkhauser.com/978-0-8176-4869-5 For a broadaudience of graduate students, researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering INDICE: Preface.- Nonlinear Elasticity.- Micropolar Elasticity.- Continuous Systems with Nonmaterial Interface.- Phase Equilibrium.- Stationary and Time-dependent Phase Changes.- An Introduction to Mixture Theory.- Electromagnetism in Matter.- Introduction to Magneto-Fluid Dynamics.- Continua with an Interface and Micromagnetism.- Relativistic Continuous Systems.- Appendix A: A BriefIntroduction to Weak Solutions.- Appendix B: Elements of Geometry of Surfaces.- References.- Index.
