Welcome Address People Teaching Courses and seminars Post-graduate training Eng. The research objective of the Applied Mechanics Division is the theoretical prediction of the behaviour of solids and fluids, with the help of new mathematical modeling and computer simulation techniques. Applications concern new materials and their forming processes. Ook in Nederlands Summary and contents of this page Recent publications Doghri, I., Mechanics of Deformable Solids Linear, Nonlinear, Analytical and Computational Aspects 2000. After the simplest possible, intuitive approach follows the mathematical formulation and analysis.
Computational methods occupy a good portion of the book.
There are several worked out problems in each chapter and additional exercises at the end of the book. Very often, mathematical expressions are given in more than one notation. The book is intended primarily for students and practising engineers in mechanical and civil engineering. Most of them will be faced with problems of advanced materials and should have a correct understanding of the basic ideas even if they use software to solve them. Students or experts from applied mathematics, materials science and other related fields will also find it useful.
