Description
The major developments in the field of fluid and solid mechanics are scattered throughout an array of scientific journals, making it often
difficult to find what the real advances are, especially for a researcher new to the field. The Advances in Applied Mechanics book series
draws together the recent significant advances in various topics in applied mechanics.
Published since 1948, Advances in Applied
Mechanics aims to provide authoritative review articles on topics in the mechanical sciences, primarily of interest to scientists and
engineers working in the various branches of mechanics, but also of interest to the many who use the results of investigation in mechanics
and various application areas.
Advances in Applied Mechanics continues to be a publication of high impact. Review articles are provided
by leading scientists in the field on an invitation only basis. Many of the articles published have become classics within their fields.
Volume 39 in the Mechanics series contains articles on vortex dynamics, the numerical simulation of two-phase flows, environmental
problems in China, and piezoelectrics.
Included in series
Advances in Applied Mechanics
Audience:
Scientists and engineers working in mechanics; university librarians.
