Compendium on Gradient Materials

Více o knize

The book provides comprehensive frameworks for modeling gradient materials across various fields such as elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, and thermomechanics. It begins with fundamental balance laws applicable to all gradient materials, followed by detailed modeling of second and third-order materials under finite deformations. It then narrows its focus to small deformations within geometrically linear theory. Additionally, it explores internal constraints in gradient materials and concludes with a study of incompressible viscous gradient fluids, addressing applications like turbulent flows.
