Nonlinear models of elastic and visco-elastic onedimensional continuous structures (beams
and cables) are formulated by the authors of this title. Several models of increasing …

This book is a unique presentation of thermodynamic methods of construction of continuous
models. It is based on a uniform approach following from the entropy inequality and using …

The purpose of this paper is to develop a model to describe the snow avalanche dynamics
emphasizing the phenomenon of entrainment, the shape variation and the velocity profile …

Books on classical mechanics can roughly be divided into two classes. Books of the first
class present the subject using differential calculus and analysis, whereas books of the …

This unique textbook offers a mathematically rigorous presentation of the theory of relativity,
emphasizing the need for a critical analysis of the foundations of general relativity in order to …

We numerically investigate the stress distribution in pastes after horizontal rotation by using
an elasto-plastic model. Residual stress remains as a memory of rotation. The stress in the …

We present a MATLAB code that implements the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
method. The paper reviews the continuous Navier-Stokes equations as well as their SPH …

In this paper we propose a perturbation method to investigate the propagation of the
ordinary waves in second-order elastic, isotropic, incompressible, and homogeneous …

This unprecedented book offers all the details of the mathematical mechanics underlying
modern modeling of skeletal muscle contraction. The aim is to provide an integrated vision …

We numerically investigate the stress distribution of a paste when an external oscillation is
applied. The paste memorizes the oscillation through plastic deformation. Due to the plastic …
