Nonlinear Solid Mechanics

Providing a modern and comprehensive coverage of continuum mechanics, this volume includes information on "variational principles" - significant, as this is the only method by which such material is actually utilized in engineering practice.

Autorentext

Gerhard A. Holzapfel is the author of Nonlinear Solid Mechanics: A Continuum Approach for Engineering, published by Wiley.

Klappentext

Die nichtlineare Festkörpermechanik beschäftigt sich mit der Lösung nichtlinearer Zustandsgleichungen von physikalischen Körpern wie Gummi, Metallen, Keramiken, Holz, lebenden Geweben usw. Ein Kontinuumansatz ermöglicht die Erklärung physikalischer Phänomene ohne Kenntnis der inneren Mikrostruktur. Die einmalige Kombination von Themengebieten richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Studenten der Mechanik und der numerischen Methoden gleichermaßen. (05/00)
