Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Spotlight: Springer Continuum Mechanics Books

 

Springer and the Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics Team are pleased to spotlight the following Springer publications, expertly edited by MTDM Advisory Editor Holm Altenbach and Editor-in-Chief Andreas Öchsner: 

The 2020 edition of the Encyclopedia of Continuum Mechanics (this opens in a new tab) covers the entire science of continuum mechanics including the mechanics of materials and fluids. The encyclopedia comprises mathematical definitions for continuum mechanical modeling, fundamental physical concepts, mechanical modeling methodology, numerical approaches and many fundamental applications. The modelling and analytical techniques are powerful tools in mechanical civil and areospsace engineering, plus in related fields of plasticity, viscoelasticity and rheology. Tensor-based and reference-frame-independent, continuum mechanics has recently found applications in geophysics and materials.

SpringerBriefs in Continuum Mechanics (this opens in a new tab) present concise summaries of cutting-edge research and practical applications on any subject of Continuum Mechanics and Generalized Continua, including the theory of elasticity, heat conduction, thermodynamics, electromagnetic continua, as well as applied mathematics. Featuring compact volumes of 50 to 125 pages, the series covers a range of content from professional to academic. The most recent, 2021 titles within the series include

Introduction to Geometrically Nonlinear Continuum Dislocation Theory (this opens in a new tab) by Christian Silbermann, Matthias Baitsch, and Jörn IhlemannNonlocal Euler–Bernoulli Beam Theories (this opens in a new tab) by Jingkai Chen
