Continuum Mechanics using Mathematica: Fundamentals, Applications, and Scientific Computing

Antonio Romano, Renato Lancellotta, and Addolorata Marasco, 2006, Birkhäuser, 388 pp., hardcover, includes CD-ROM

ISBN: 0817632409

This book covers essential principles and fundamental applications of continuum mechanics, and provides a solid basis for a deeper study of more challenging and specialized problems related to elasticity, fluid mechanics, plasticity, materials with memory, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, magneto-fluid mechanics, and state changes. It is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering.
