Elasticity and Geometry

From Hair Curls to the Non-Linear Response of Shells

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

We experience elasticity everywhere in everyday life. This book covers several modern aspects of the established field of elasticity theory, applying general methods of classical analysis including advanced nonlinear aspects to derive detailed solutions to specific problems. It can serve as an introduction to nonlinear methods in science.
