Nonlinear Elasticity Theory and Applications [Paperback]

Comprehensive introduction to nonlinear elasticity for graduates and researchers, covering new developments in the field.Here is a collection of invited papers by leading researchers on the important field of finite, nonlinear elasticity. This is concerned with the behaviour of objects deforming under external forces or temperature gradients, and so is extremely important in many industrial settings, for example in the aerospace and rubber industries. The various aspects of the subject are comprehensively covered in the book, with the emphasis placed squarely on modern developments including computing issues such as symbolic manipulation and algorithms. Ideal for a graduate course and as a reference for experts.Here is a collection of invited papers by leading researchers on the important field of finite, nonlinear elasticity.

Ideal for a graduate course and as a reference for experts.This collection of papers by leading researchers in the field of finite, nonlinear elasticity concerns itself with the behavior of objects that deform when external forces or temperature gradients are applied. This process is extremely important in many industrial settings, such as aerospace and rubber industries. This book covers the various aspects of the subject comprehensively with careful explanations of the basic theories and individual chapters each covering a different research direction. The authors discuss the use of symbolic manipulation software as well as computer algorithm issues. The emphasis is placed firmly on covering modern, recent developments, ratherlã’
