Description
Nonlinear solid mechanics deals with nonlinear constitutive equations for physical objects such as rubber, metal, ceramics, wood, living tissues etc. The continuum approach allows the explanation of physical phenomena without detailed knowledge of their internal microstructure. Providing a modern and comprehensive coverage of continuum mechanics, this volume includes information on "variational principles" - significant, as this is the only method by which such material is actually utilized in engineering practice. It covers a combination of subjects useful to postgraduates in mechanics and numerical methods.
