Generalized Models and Non-classical Approaches in Complex Materials 1 [Hardcover]

This book is the first of 2 special volumes dedicated to the memory of G?rard Maugin. Including 40 papers that reflect his vast field of scientific activity, the contributions discuss non-standard methods (generalized model) to demonstrate the wide range of subjects that were covered by this exceptional scientific leader.

The topics range from micromechanical basics to engineering applications, focusing on new models and applications of well-known models to new problems. They include micromacro aspects, computational endeavors, options for identifying constitutive equations, and old problems with incorrect or non-satisfying solutions based on the classical continua assumptions.

The authors have dedicated this book to G?rard A. Maugin, an exceptional French engineering scientist and philosopher. Maugins achievements in the fields of physical sciences and engineering embrace relativistic continuum mechanics, micromagnetism, electrodynamics of continua, thermomechanics, surface waves and nonlinear waves in continua, lattice dynamics, material equations and biomechanical applications.
