Professor
Ottino presents a unified and systematic account of the kinematics of mixing
fluids. He suggests that fluid mixing be regarded, in some respects, as the
efficent stretching and folding of material lines and surfaces. This
corresponds to analyzing a particular type of dynamical system, and Ottino
explores the connection. The work is heavily illustrated with line diagrams,
and black-and-white and color plates. The graphics aid the reader in developing
a more systematic and intuitive picture, complementing the scientific
presentation given in the text itself.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...succeeds
admirably in conveying the author's perspective on mixing and its relationship
to a wider range of topics in flow analysis. Kinematics of Mixing: Stretching,
Chaos, and Transport is highly recommended as a reference for researchers
interested in the dynamics of complex flow fields." Applied Mechanics
Review
"...this book has a number of unique and attractive features. The contents of the book constitute a trove of information that will be relished by the student of mixing. At this stage, the book must be considered as required reading for academic and industrial researchers in all disciplines involved with fluid mixing." R.E. Rosenweig, AIChE Journal
"The book presents an up-to-date state of the art in this field, and, what is essential, is self-contained; it includes all necessary educational material at a suitable level of rigour. This makes the book suitable for a wide spectrum of readers, from specialists in chemical engineering to students of continuum mechanics....After reading this book many researchers will be stimulated to work out ways of applying these tools to their own problems....The book should be recommended to a wide audience of researchers, teachers and students." G. I. Barenblatt, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
"...a well-organized and thorough treatment of a subject of substantial current research interest. It would be a good text for a specialized graduate course on the kinematic approach to mixing (probably in Chemical Engineering departments, where most of the research in this area occurs), or to bring new workers in the field up to speed." John de Bruyn, Physics in Canada

Elastic Waves in Solids I: Free and Guided Propagation
by: Daniel Royer , Eugene Dieulesaint , D.P. Morgan
Book Description
3642085210 978-3642085215
Elastic
waves possess some remarkable properties and have become ever more important to
applications in fields such as telecommunications (signal processing), medicine
(echography), and metallurgy (non-destructive testing). These volumes serve as
a bridge between basic books on wave phenomena and more technically oriented
books on specific applications of wave phenomena. The first volume studies the
different mechanisms of propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media. The
second volume describes the generation and applications of free and guided
waves.

Mécanique des milieux continus, Tome 1 : Concepts généraux
par: Jean Salençon
Description de l'ouvrage
Editions de l'Ecole
polytechnique
L'ouvrage s'adresse aux élèves des grandes Écoles
scientifiques et aux étudiants des universités dont le cursus intègre un
enseignement de mécanique des milieux continus. Il peut également aider à
l'approfondissement des connaissances dans le cadre d'une formation continuée.
Il est accompagné d'un CD-Rom pédagogique qui concerne la présentation des
concepts généraux. L'ouvrage propose d'abord une présentation des concepts et
des principes fondamentaux de la mécanique des milieux continus. Le fil
directeur en est la méthode des puissances virtuelles qui, sur la modélisation
géométrique issue de l'expérience quotidienne, permet de bâtir la modélisation
des efforts dans une démarche systématique. La dialectique
modélisation-validation préside à l'interprétation physique des modèles ainsi
construits. Le comportement thermoélastique du milieu continu tridimensionnel
est présenté sans restriction de généralité, puis linéarisé. L'étude des
problèmes globaux d'évolution thermoélastique est abordée de façon générale en
grandes transformations et grands déplacements avant sa linéarisation. Après
les méthodes directes de résolution, on expose les méthodes variationnelles
issues de l'application du principe des puissances virtuelles. Elles
introduisent la notion de solution approchée et sont un fondement des logiciels
de calcul utilisés dans la pratique industrielle. L'ouvrage se termine par la
présentation des milieux curvilignes. On y voit comment la méthode des
puissances virtuelles permet, sur une modélisation géométrique unidimensionnelle,
l'élaboration d'abord d'un modèle simple valable pour les fils, puis du modèle
représentatif pour les poutres. On aborde enfin les problèmes d'équilibre des
structures thermoélastiques.

Models and Analysis of Quasistatic Contact: Variational Methods
by: Meir Shillor , Mircea Sofonea , Józef Joachim Telega
Book Description
3540229159 978-3540229155 2004
The
mathematical theory of contact mechanics is a growing field in engineering and
scientific computing. This book is intended as a unified and readily accessible
source for mathematicians, applied mathematicians, mechanicians, engineers and
scientists, as well as advanced students. The first part describes models of
the processes involved like friction, heat generation and thermal effects,
wear, adhesion and damage. The second part presents many mathematical
models of practical interest and demonstrates the close interaction and
cross-fertilization between contact mechanics and the theory of variational
inequalities. The last part reviews further results, gives many references
to current research and discusses open problems and future developments.
The book can be read by mechanical engineers interested in applications. In
addition, some theorems and their proofs are given as examples for the
mathematical tools used in the models.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The aim of this important book is the study of problems in contact mechanics ... . The work is intended for a wide audience: this would include specialists in contact processes in the structural and mechanical systems … as well as those with a background in the mathematical sciences who seek a self-contained account of mathematical theory of contact mechanics. The text is suitable for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, computational mathematics, and computational mechanics." (J. Lovíšek, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1069, 2005)
