Mathematical Models in Applied Mechanics [Paperback]

Mathematical Models in Applied Mechanicsis perfectly designed for final year undergraduate and graduate students. This textbook utilizes the power of mathematics in solving practical, scientific and technical problems through mathematical modeling techniques. Taken from real-life situations, the text includes twenty-one ordered problems, which gives students the ability to develop the skills necessary to create new situational models.

1. Problem Formulation
2. Wave Motion
3. Elliptic Problems
4. Diffusion
5. Asymptotic Methods for Non-Linear Problems
