It is centered around the variational structure underlying the Method of Virtual Power (MVP). The variational approach to the modeling of physical systems is the preferred approach to address complex mathematical modeling of both continuum and discrete media. This book provides a unified theoretical framework for the construction of a wide range of multiscale models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to the Variational Formulation in Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e enables readers to develop, on top of solid mathematical (variational) bases, and following clear and precise systematic steps, several models of physical systems, including problems involving multiple scales. It covers: Vector and Tensor Algebra; Vector and Tensor Analysis; Mechanics of Continua; Hyperelastic Materials; Materials Exhibiting Creep; Materials Exhibiting Plasticity; Bending of Beams; Torsion of Bars; Plates and Shells; Heat Transfer; Incompressible Fluid Flow; Multiscale Modeling; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA self-contained reader-friendly approach to the variational formulation in the mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines development of advanced variational formulations in different areas within the field of mechanics using rather simple arguments and explanations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrates application of the variational modeling to address hot topics such as the multiscale modeling of complex material behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresentation of the Method of Virtual Power as a systematic tool to construct mathematical models of physical systems gives readers a fundamental asset towards the architecture of even more complex (or open) problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to the Variational Formulation in Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e is a ideal book for advanced courses in engineering and mathematics, and an excellent resource for researchers in engineering, computational modeling, and scientific computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEDGARDO OMAR TAROCO, P\u003csmall\u003eH\u003c\/small\u003eD,\u003c\/b\u003e was a Full Researcher at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC\/MCTIC) and at the National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC), Petrópolis, Brazil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePABLO JAVIER BLANCO, P\u003csmall\u003eH\u003c\/small\u003eD,\u003c\/b\u003e is a Full Researcher at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC\/MCTIC) and at the National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC), Petrópolis, Brazil, and Associate Professor at the Catholic University of Petrópolis, Brazil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRAÚL ANTONINO FEIJÓO,\u003c\/b\u003e is a Full Researcher at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC\/MCTIC) and at the National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC), Petrópolis, Brazil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 March 2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781119600909\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e608\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380524216460,"sku":"9781119600909","price":159.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781119600909_91ec2894-c444-4229-ada4-41b631ea2752.jpg?v=1780238194","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781119600909","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
