About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The objective of the present book is to present a point of view that emphasizes the differential-geometric aspect of the inhomogeneity theory. By following the presentation in the preface, the book is divided in three parts … . This book is highly recommended to the workers on modern continuum mechanics." (Franco Cardin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1130 (8), 2008)
"The main goal of this book is to present a new point of view on the theory of material inhomogeneities by means of a strong mathematical tool, namely, differential geometry. … useful for a reader who is interested in one of the particular topics treated. … I recommend it as one of the best monographs not only on the topic of material inhomogeneities, but even in the larger domain of the differential-geometric approach to continuum mechanics." (Nicolae Boja, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 e)
