Non-Linear Elasticity and Theoretical Mechanics - In Honour of A. E. Green

Klappentext The pioneering and wide-ranging research of A. E. Green--one of the outstanding British researchers in theoretical and applied mechanics--is the subject of this important new volume. Featuring sixteen up-to-date research papers written by his eminent colleagues and friends, the book covers a variety of topics from thermodynamics to problems associated with crystals; linear, nonlinear and fibre-reinforced elastic materials; and viscoplastic and granular materials. Perfect for students and researchers alike, Nonlinear Elasticity and Theoretical Mechanics is a superb tribute to the work of one of England's great scientists. Zusammenfassung A collection of papers from leading researchers on their latest work in the areas of linear and non-linear elasticity, fluid mechanics, and on the mechanics of continua. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword Quasistatic cycles in dynamic linear thermoelasticity The second-order deformation of an incompressible isotropic slab under torsion Reversible and non-dissipative processes Convexity consideration for the biharmonic equation in place polars with applications to elasticity Bending of a beam or wide strip Finite-amplitude waves in deformed Mooney-Rivlin materials Continuum theory for biaxial nematic liquid crystals Fourier-transform solution of a Boussinesq problem for a hexagonally aelotropic elastic half-space Asymptotic and other estimates for a similinear elliptic equation in a cylinder Closure of an arc crack in an isotropic homogeneous material due to unaxial loading Linear dynamical stability in constrained thermoelasticity I. Deformation - temperature constraints Linear dynamical stability in constrained thermoelasticity II. Deformation - entropy constraints Deformations of an elastic, internally constrained material Part 2: non-homogeneous deformations Finite deformations of a fibre-reinforced cantilever: distributed-load solutions Gravity flow of a granular material in compression between vertical walls and through a tapering vertical channel On the dynamical theory of rigid-viscoplastic materials ...
