Description for Modeling Nonlinear Problems in the Mechanics of Strings and Rods: The Role of the Balance Laws
Hardback. Series: Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 425 pages, 10 black & white illustrations, 137 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBKS; PBWR; TGB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This book presents theories of deformable elastic strings and rods and their application to broad classes of problems. Readers will gain insights into the formulation and analysis of models for mechanical and biological systems. Emphasis is placed on how the balance laws interplay with constitutive relations to form a set of governing equations. For certain classes of problems, it is shown how a balance of material momentum can play a key role in forming the equations of motion. The first half of the book is devoted to the purely mechanical theory of a string and its applications. The second half ... Read more

Reviews for Modeling Nonlinear Problems in the Mechanics of Strings and Rods: The Role of the Balance Laws
This graduate-level textbook presents models of rods and strings obtained by using balance laws. ... It will introduce students, especially those who are research-oriented, into modern theories. I believe that the book under review is an important addition to the subject, and I strongly recommend it to students and researchers in continuum mechanics, especially in the field of rods and ...
