Mechanics of Fluid Saturated Rocks presents a current and comprehensive report on this emerging field that bridges the areas of geology and mechanics. It is of direct interest to a wide spectrum of earth scientists and engineers who are concerned with upper-crust mechanics and fluid movements, the...
Introduction to Mechanics
Second edition
Language: English
Release Date: June 15, 2016
Introduction to Mechanics, Second Edition offers a modern introduction to Newtonian dynamics and the basics of special relativity.

Principles of Continuum Mechanics
Conservation and Balance Laws with Applications
Language: English
Release Date: November 16, 2017
Continuum mechanics deals with the stress, deformation, and mechanical behaviour of matter as a continuum rather than a collection of discrete particles. The subject is interdisciplinary in nature, and has gained increased attention in recent times primarily because of a need to understand a variety...

by Olivier Coussy
Language: English
Release Date: June 28, 2011
Language: English
Release Date: June 28, 2011
Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids addresses the mechanics and physics of deformable porous materials whose porous space is filled by one or several fluid mixtures interacting with the solid matrix. Coussy uses the language of thermodynamics to frame the discussion of this topic and bridge the...

Biofluid Mechanics
An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Macrocirculation, and Microcirculation
Language: English
Release Date: November 2, 2011
Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations, derives...
Disruptive
Rewriting the rules of physics
Language: English
Release Date: June 28, 2016
Once in a lifetime we might witness a scientific event so rare and revolutionary that it changes our lives forever. Imagine awakening on the day in history when we learned that the Earth is round, not flat; or awakening on the day we learned that the planets orbit the Sun, not the Earth. Now, imagine...

Mechanical Behaviour of Materials
Volume II: Fracture Mechanics and Damage
Language: English
Release Date: December 24, 2012
Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes and guarding against fracture in service are among the preoccupations of engineers, and to deal with these they need to have command of the mechanics of material behaviour. This ought to reflect in the training of students. In this respect, the...
