Encyclopedia of Continuum Mechanics

Encyclopedia of Continuum Mechanics by Holm Altenbach
English | EPUB | 2020 | 2837 Pages | ISBN : 3662558777 | 341.38 MB
This Encyclopedia covers the entire science of continuum mechanics including the mechanics of materials and fluids. The encyclopedia comprises mathematical definitions for continuum mechanical modeling, fundamental physical concepts, mechanical modeling methodology, numerical approaches and many fundamental applications. The modelling and analytical techniques are powerful tools in mechanical civil and areospsace engineering, plus in related fields of plasticity, viscoelasticity and rheology. Tensor-based and reference-frame-independent, continuum mechanics has recently found applications in geophysics and materials.
