  • Principles of Continuum Mechanics

    by David J Steigmann, Milad Shirani ...
    This book covers the fundamental aspects of continuum mechanics (tensor methods, kinematics of deformation and motion, forces and balance laws) and includes a modern account of essential aspects of constitutive theory such as frame invariance, material symmetry, constraints, and restrictions imposed by thermodynamics.Recent significant advances in the subject have been incorporated in a ...

  • Lecture Notes on the Theory of Plates and Shells

    Classical and Modern Developments

    by David J. Steigmann, Mircea Bîrsan, Milad Shirani ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book presents the theory of plates and shells on the basis of the three-dimensional parent theory. The authors explore the thinness of the structure to represent the mechanics of the actual thin three-dimensional body under consideration by a more tractable two-dimensional theory associated with an interior surface. In this way, the relatively complex three-dimensional continuum mechanics of ... Read more

  • How to Derive a Formula

    Volume 2: Further Analytical Skills and Methods for Physical Scientists

    by Alexei A Kornyshev, Dominic O'Lee ...
    Series series Essential Textbooks in Physics
    Will artificial intelligence make scientific formulae redundant by eventually solving all current and future physical problems? The authors of this book would argue that there is still a vital role for humans to play in making sense of the laws of nature. To derive a formula one follows a series of steps, only the last of which is to check that the result is correct. The book is about unravelling ... Read more
