Energetic Relaxation to Structured Deformations


Book Description

This book is the first organized collection of some results that have been obtained by the authors, their collaborators, and other researchers in the variational approach to structured deformations. It sets the basis and makes more accessible the theoretical apparatus for assigning an energy to a structured deformation, thereby providing motivation to researchers in applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, engineering, and materials science to study the deformation of a solid body without committing at the outset to a specific mechanical theory. Researchers will benefit from an approach in which elastic, plastic, and fracture phenomena can be treated in a unified way. ​The book is intended for an audience acquainted with measure theory, the theory of functions of bounded variation, and continuum mechanics. Any students in their last years of undergraduate studies, graduate students, and researchers with a background in applied mathematics, the calculus of variations, and continuum mechanics will have the prerequisite to read this book.




Multiscale Modeling in Continuum Mechanics and Structured Deformations


Book Description

An updated account of the state of the art in the subject, presenting recent progress in two active and related areas of continuum mechanics: fracture mechanics and structured deformations.




Mathematical Analysis of Continuum Mechanics and Industrial Applications II


Book Description

As the sequel to the proceedings of the International Conference of Continuum Mechanics Focusing on Singularities (CoMFoS15), the proceedings of CoMFoS16 present further advances and new topics in mathematical theory and numerical simulations related to various aspects of continuum mechanics. These include fracture mechanics, shape optimization, modeling of earthquakes, material structure, interface dynamics and complex systems.. The authors are leading researchers with a profound knowledge of mathematical analysis from the fields of applied mathematics, physics, seismology, engineering, and industry. The book helps readers to understand how mathematical theory can be applied to various industrial problems, and conversely, how industrial problems lead to new mathematical challenges.

Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics In The Light Of New Technology: Isqm-tokyo '05 - Proceedings Of The 8th International Symposium


Book Description

The goal of the 8th International Symposium on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology was to link recent advances in technology with fundamental problems and issues in quantum mechanics with an emphasis on quantum coherence, decoherence, and geometrical phase.The papers collected in this volume cover a wide range of quantum physics, including quantum information and entanglement, quantum computing, quantum-dot systems, the anomalous Hall effect and the spin-Hall effect, spin related phenomena, superconductivity in nano-systems, precise measurements, and fundamental problems. The volume serves both as an excellent reference for experts and a useful introduction for newcomers to the field of quantum coherence and decoherence.




Handbook of Aggregation-Induced Emission, Volume 1


Book Description

Der erste Band des ultimativen Referenzwerks zur Wissenschaft und Anwendung aggregationsinduzierter Emissionen Im Handbook of Aggregation-Induced Emission werden grundlegende und erweiterte Themen der aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen sowie innovative Entwicklungen in diesem Bereich dargestellt, einem wichtigen, interdisziplinären Forschungsbereich, in dem über die letzten zwanzig Jahre zahlreiche Fortschritte und Erfolge erzielt wurden. Die drei Bände des Werks vermitteln den Leserinnen und Lesern eine umfassende, aufschlussreiche Sichtweise, die für neue und erfahrene Forscher auf dem Gebiet der aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen verständlich ist. In diesem ersten der drei Bände geben die Herausgeber einen Überblick über das Gebiet der aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen und legen dabei den Schwerpunkt auf die Grundlagen der verschiedenen Felder, die zu diesem Fachgebiet gehören, wie kristallisationsinduzierte Emissionen, Phosphoreszenz bei Raumtemperatur, aggregationsinduzierte verzögerte Fluoreszenz usw. Es werden die neuen Eigenschaften von Materialien betrachtet, die durch molekulare Aggregate entstehen. Darüber hinaus enthält dieser Band: * Eine umfassende Einführung in das mechanistische Verständnis der Bedeutung der Molekularbewegung für aggregationsinduzierte Emissionen * Eine Betrachtung des Mechanismus der aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen auf molekularer Ebene * Praktische Erörterungen der aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen aufgrund der Einschränkung der Doppelbindungsrotation im angeregten Zustand sowie der durch Clusterbildung ausgelösten Emissionen Dieses dreibändige Werk ist ideal für Forscher im akademischen Bereich, die sich mit aggregationsinduzierten Emissionen befassen, es richtet sich aber auch an Fachleute und Studierende in den Bereichen Photophysik, Photochemie, Materialwissenschaft, optoelektronische Materialien, synthetische organische Chemie, makromolekulare Chemie, Polymerwissenschaft und Biowissenschaften.

Fundamental Issues and Applications of Shock-Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena


Book Description

This book contains the proceedings of EXPLOMETTM 2000, International Conference on Fundamental Issues and Applications of Shock-Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2000; the fifth in the EXPLOMETTM quinquennial series which began in Albuquerque in 1980. The book is divided into five major sections with a total of 85 chapters. Section I deals with materials issues in shock and high strain rates while Section II covers shock consolidation, reactions, and synthesis. Materials aspects of ballistic and hypervelocity impact are covered in Section III followed by modeling and simulation in Section IV and a range of novel applications of shock and high-strain-rate phenomena in Section V. Like previous conference volumes published in 1980, 1985, and 1995, the current volume includes contributions from fourteen countries outside the United States. As a consequence, it is hoped that this book will serve as a global summary of current issues involving shock and high-strain-rate phenomena as well as a general reference and teaching componant for specializd curricula dealing with these features in a contemporary way. Over the past twenty years, the EXPLOMETTM Conferences have created a family of participants who not only converse every five years but who have developed long-standing interactions and professional relationships which continue to stimulate new concepts and applications particularly rooted in basic materials behavior.
