Non-Classical Elastic Solids (Pitman Research Notes in Mathematics Series #293), Vol. 293 FROM THE PUBLISHER
This Research Note is concerned with the boundary value problems of some theories of non-classical elastic bodies. Beginning with a study of non-simple elastic bodies, there follows a treatment of the theory of elastic solids with microstructure. The authors conclude with a theory of elastic materials with voids. On the whole, the subject matter is directed towards recent developments.
The non-classical models of elastic solids are of interest both from the mathematical and technical point of view. Relevant examples which illustrate the theory are given throughout the text.
Readership: The book should be of interest to mathematicians, physicists and specialists working in the mathematical aspects of elasticity, civil engineering and geophysics.
