Elsoufiev Publisher: Springer ; 1st edition (January 2007) Publication Date: 2007-01 Number Of Pages: 233 This book presents a new approach for the solution of geomechanical problems - it explicitly takes into account deformation and fractures of soils in explicitly, which are neglected in classical methods although these properties create important effects. The method reveals the influence of the form of a structure on its ultimate state. It considers the rheological law which accounts for large strains, and a non-linear unsteady creep, an influence of a stress state type, an initial anisotropy, and damages is introduced. The whole approach takes into account five types of non-linearity (physical as well as geometrical ones) and contains several new ideas. For example, the fracture is considered as a process, and the difference between the body and an element of the material is taken into account which only deforms and fails because it is in the structure. In addition, the simplicity of some non-linear computations against the consequently linear ones is featured ~ ISBN: 140200432X Title: Asymptotic Modelling of Fluid Flow Phenomena (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications, Volume 64) (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications) Author: Radyadour K.

Berselli T. Iliescu W.J. Layton Publisher: Springer ; 1st edition (December 1, 2005) Publication Date: 2005-12-01 Number Of Pages: 348 Large eddy simulation (LES) is a method of scientific computation seeking to predict the dynamics of organized structures in turbulent flows by approximating local, spatial averages of the flow. Since its birth in 1970, LES has undergone an explosive development and has matured into a highly-developed computational technology. It uses the tools of turbulence theory and the experience gained from practical computation. This book focuses on the mathematical foundations of LES and its models and provides a connection between the powerful tools of applied mathematics, partial differential equations and LES. Thus, it is concerned with fundamental aspects not treated so deeply in the other books in the field, aspects such as well- posedness of the models, their energy balance and the connection to the Leray theory of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. The authors give a mathematically informed and detailed treatment of an interesting selection of models, focusing on issues connected with understanding and expanding the correctness and universality of LES. This volume offers a useful entry point into the field for PhD students in applied mathematics, computational mathematics and partial differential equations. Non- mathematicians will appreciate it as a reference that introduces them to current tools and advances in the mathematical theory of LES ~ ISBN: 3540249850 Title: Nonlinear Continua (Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics) Author: Eduardo N.

The kinematics of the continuum deformation, including pull-back / push-forward transformations between different configurations, stress and strain measures, balance principles, constitutive relations and variational principles are developed using general curvilinear coordinates. Even though the mathematical presentation of the different topics is quite rigorous, an effort is made to link formal developments with engineering physical intuition 1 Introduction 1 2 Kinematics of the continuous media 7 3 Stress tensor 67 4 Balance principles 85 5 Constitutive relations 115 6 Variational methods 183 A Introduction to tensor analysis 213 ~ ISBN: 0521636361 Title: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach Author: Jorge V. José Eugene J. Saletan Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 1998-08-13 Number Of Pages: 696 Recent advances in the study of dynamical systems have revolutionized the way that classical mechanics is taught and understood. This new and comprehensive textbook provides a complete description of this fundamental branch of physics. The authors cover all the material that one would expect to find in a standard graduate course: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, canonical transformations, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, perturbation methods, and rigid bodies. They also deal with more advanced topics such as the relativistic Kepler problem, Liouville and Darboux theorems, and inverse and chaotic scattering. A key feature of the book is the early introduction of geometric (differential manifold) ideas, as well as detailed treatment of topics in nonlinear dynamics (such as the KAM theorem) and continuum dynamics (including solitons). Over 200 homework exercises are included. It will be an ideal textbook for graduate students of physics, applied mathematics, theoretical chemistry, and engineering, as well as a useful reference for researchers in these fields.
