Nonlinear Waves in Bounded Media
The Mathematics of Resonance
Language: English
Release Date: January 18, 2017
This unique book aims to treat a class of nonlinear waves that are reflected from the boundaries of media of finite extent. It involves both standing (unforced) waves and resonant oscillations due to external periodic forcing. The waves are both hyperbolic and dispersive. To achieve this aim, the...

Fluid Flow, Heat and Mass Transfer at Bodies of Different Shapes
Numerical Solutions
Language: English
Release Date: September 8, 2015
Most of the equations governing the problems related to science and engineering are nonlinear in nature. As a result, they are inherently difficult to solve. Analytical solutions are available only for some special cases. For other cases, one has no easy means but to solve the problem must depend...

Computational Plasticity for Finite Elements
A Fortran-Based Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: March 6, 2018
This volume demonstrates the use of FORTRAN for numerical computing in the context of the finite element method.

Transport and Fluctuations in Granular Fluids
From Boltzmann Equation to Hydrodynamics, Diffusion and Motor Effects
Language: English
Release Date: September 2, 2014
This brief offers a concise presentation of granular fluids from the point of view of non-equilibrium statistical physics. The emphasis is on fluctuations, which can be large in granular fluids due to the small system size (the number of grains is many orders of magnitude smaller than in molecular...
