Description for Material Inhomogeneities and Their Evolution
Paperback. Inhomogeneity theory is important for the description of a variety of material phenomena. This book covers the theory using some of the tools of modern differential geometry. It deals with the geometrical description of uniform bodies and their homogeneity (that is integrability) conditions. Series: Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 261 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PHD; TGB; UGC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 444.
With its origins in the theories of continuous distributions of dislocations and ofmetalplasticity,inhomogeneitytheoryisarichandvibrant?eldofresearch. The recognition of the important role played by con?gurational or material forces in phenomena such as growth and remodelling is perhaps its greatest present-day impetus. While some excellent comprehensive works approa- ing the subject from di?erent angles have been published, the objective of this monograph is to present a point of view that emphasizes the di?erenti- geometric aspects of inhomogeneity theory. In so doing, we follow the general lines of thought that we have propounded in many publications and presen- tions over the last two decades. Although ... Read more

Reviews for Material Inhomogeneities and Their Evolution
From the reviews: "The objective of the present book is to present a point of view that emphasizes the differential-geometric aspect of the inhomogeneity theory. By following the presentation in the preface, the book is divided in three parts … . This book is highly recommended to the workers on modern continuum mechanics." (Franco Cardin, ... Read more
