Coulson C.A., rev. by Jeffrey A. Waves. A mathematical approach to the common types of wave motion

Clarendon Press, OXFORD, 2005, 397 Pages The study of fluid dynamics is a central theme in modern applied mathematics. It is used to model a vast range of physical phenomena and plays a vital role in science and engineering. This textbook provides a clear introduction to both the theory and application of fluid dynamics that is suitable for all undergraduates coming to the subject for the first time. Students need only a basic knowledge of vecto...

Springer, 2009. 586 p. ISBN-10:3540884661 The book reviews the two features of the variational approach: its use as a universal tool to describe physical phenomena and as a source for qualitative and quantitative methods of studying particular problems. Berdichevsky’s work differs from other books on the subject in focusing mostly on the physical origin of variational principles as well as establishing their interrelations. For example, the Gibb...

Cambridge University Press, 279 pages, 1997, ISBN-10: 052157272X This book provides a look at the theory behind the programs engineers use for the computer simulation of nonlinear structural behaviour. It establishes the mathematical foundations for the development of computer programs that can predict the behaviour of mechanical and structural components. After a thorough but succinct introduction, the book delves into mathematical preliminarie...

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2008, 661 pages This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. Part I: Continuum Mechanics introduces into the Foundations using tensors in Cartesian coordinate systems, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics. Part II: Mechanics of Materials has chapters on viscoelasticity, plasticity, principles of constitutive modelling, and thermodynamics. Part III prese...
