A survey is given of continuum theories that have been developed to model mixtures of
immiscible constituents, such as bubbly liquids, fluid-particle mixtures, fluid saturated porous …

Science'by Gerhard A. Holzapfel is facilitated by his own preface, where both the aims and
the approaches of the book are outlined, showing a clear overview of the material. Having …

This book goes back a long way. There is a tradition of research and teaching in inelasticity
at Stanford that goes back at least to Wilhelm Flugge ̈ and Erastus Lee. I joined the faculty …

The book provides a comprehensive, detailed and self-contained treatment of the
fundamental mathematical properties of boundary-value problems related to the Navier …

Because plates and shells are common structural elements in aerospace, automotive, and
civil engineering structures, engineers must understand the behavior of such structures …

The main purpose of this chapter is to give a derivation, which is mathematically precise,

This book is developed for the study of vectorial problems in the calculus of variations. The
subject is a very active one and almost half of the book consists of new material. This is a …

In much of this text we shall be concerned with the study of elastic bodies. Accordingly, we
shall now present a brief treatment of the theory of elasticity. In develo** the theory we …
