Description
Solid mechanics is a basic scientific discipline which provides the theoretical foundation, experimental support, solution methodology
and computational tools for analysis, design, construction, manufacture, and behavior prediction in service of many devices, machines,
materials, structures and large complex systems that are essential to the existence and progress of an advanced civilization. It is concerned
with both manmade, natural and living solid objects, and with all aspects of their physical behavior that affect their function, integrity
or service life expectancy.
The contents of this volume offer examples of some of the activities that are currently at the forefront
of solid mechanics research, and also illustrate the vast reach of the discipline and of its interactions with other science and engineering
endeavors.
Audience
For scientists in the disciplines of engineering, solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.
