Efforts aimed at understanding the behavior of metals under loading beyond the elastic
regime provided the starting point, at the turn of this century, for the development of a body of …

Publisher Summary Multifield theories indicate the wide range of models in which some
graphic fields must be introduced to describe the influence of material substructures on the …

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 …

Self contained, this book presents a thorough introduction to the complementary notions of
physical forces and material (or configurational) forces. All the required elements of …

The use of geometric methods in classical mechanics has proven fruitful, with wide
applications in physics and engineering. In this book, Professor Marsden concentrates on …

In the absence of external loads or in the presence of symmetries (ie, translational and
rotational invariance) the nonlinear dynamics of continuum systems preserves the total …

The purpose of this monograph is threefold. First, mathematical models of the transient
behavior of some or all of the state variables describing the motion of multiple-link flexible …

Computational aspects of a geometrically exact stress resultant model presented in Part I of
this work are considered in detail. In particular, by exploiting the underlying geometric …

A fully nonlinear, three-dimensional rod model is developed that incorporates transverse
shear and torsion-war** deformation. The geometric setting is that of a constrained body …

It is shown that widely used implicit schemes, in particular the classical Newmark family of
algorithms and its variants, generally fail to conserve total angular momentum for nonlinear …
