Description
Addresses behaviour of materials under extreme mechanical conditions and of failure in terms of non-linear continuum mechanics and instability theory.
About the Author
Davide Bigoni is Professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics at the University of Trento, Italy, where he has been head of the Department of Mechanical and Structural Engineering for the past ten years. He was honored as a Euromech Fellow of the European Mechanics Society. He is co-editor of the Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures (an international journal founded by C. R. Steele) and is associate editor of Mechanics Research Communications. He co-edited, with Deseri Luca, Recent Progress in the Mechanics of Defects (2011).
Reviews
"The book will be useful to engineers who want to be acquainted with an up-to-date presentation of nonlinear materials. It will also be useful to mathematicians who are interested in comprehensive and realistic modelling of such non linear materials." -Mathematical Reviews
