Compendium on Gradient Materials

Více o knize

The book presents comprehensive frameworks for modeling gradient materials across various fields, including elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, and thermomechanics. It begins with fundamental balance laws applicable to all gradient materials, then explores second and third-order materials under finite deformations. The focus shifts to geometrically linear theory for small deformations, followed by an exploration of internal constraints in gradient materials. The concluding chapter addresses incompressible viscous gradient fluids, linking to historical concepts of turbulent flows.
