Continuum Models And Discrete Systems - Proceedings Of The Eighth International Symposium


Book Description

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scientists working on continuum theories of discrete mechanical and thermodynamical systems in the realm of mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, physics, material science and engineering. It aims to join together the divergent languages, questions and methods developed in the respective disciplines and to stimulate broad interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and results. The main topics, discussed in the lectures, concern thermodynamics, transport theory, statistical mechanics; continuum mechanics of complex fluids and deformable solids with microstructure; continuum theory of living structures; defect dynamics, synergetics, solitons, coherent structures; dislocations and plasticity; fundamentals of fracture mechanics.







Discrete and Continuum Models for Complex Metamaterials


Book Description

Explores the relationship between discrete and continuum mechanics as a tool to model new and complex metamaterials. Including a comprehensive bibliography and historical review of the field, and a pedagogical mathematical treatment, it is ideal for graduate students and researchers in mechanical and civil engineering, and materials science.

Continuum Models and Discrete Systems


Book Description

This volume of Continuum Models and Discrete Systems contains the text of many shorter contributions presented at the sixth CMDS conference. As with earlier symposia in the series, the purpose of the symposium was to bring together internationally renowned researchers concerned with various aspects of continuum modelling of discrete systems.
