Description for Mechanics of Material Forces
Hardback. Conceptually speaking, common continuum mechanics in the sense of Newton - which gives rise to the notion of spatial (mechanical) forces - considers the response to variations of spatial placements of "physical particles" with respect to the ambient space. This book covers theoretical and numerical developments in the mechanics of material forces. Editor(s): Steinmann, Paul; Maugin, Gerard A. Series: Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 338 pages, 30 black & white illustrations, 10 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 675.
The notion dealt with in this volume of proceedings is often traced back to the late 19th-century writings of a rather obscure scientist, C. V. Burton. A probable reason for this is that the painstaking de ciphering of this author's paper in the Philosophical Magazine (Vol. 33, pp. 191-204, 1891) seems to reveal a notion that was introduced in math ematical form much later, that of local structural rearrangement. This notion obviously takes place on the material manifold of modern con tinuum mechanics. It is more or less clear that seemingly different phe nomena - phase transition, local destruction of ...
