{"product_id":"9781461281665","title":"Springer Tracts in Natural Philosophy","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSpringer Tracts in Natural Philosophy\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCapriz, Gianfranco\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book proposes a new general setting for theories of bodies with microstructure when they are described within the scheme of the con­ tinuum: besides the usual fields of classical thermomechanics (dis­ placement, stress, temperature, etc.) some new fields enter the picture (order parameters, microstress, etc.). The book can be used in a semester course for students who have already followed lectures on the classical theory of continua and is intended as an introduction to special topics: materials with voids, liquid crystals, meromorphic con­ tinua. In fact, the content is essentially that of a series of lectures given in 1986 at the Scuola Estiva di Fisica Matematica in Ravello (Italy). I would like to thank the Scientific Committee of the Gruppo di Fisica Matematica of the Italian National Council of Research (CNR) for the invitation to teach in the School. I also thank the Committee for Mathematics of CNR and the National Science Foundation: they have supported my research over many years and given me the opportunity to study the topics presented in this book, in particular through a USA-Italy program initiated by Professor Clifford A. Truesdell. My interest in the field dates back to a period of collaboration with Paolo Podio-Guidugli and some of the basic ideas came up during our discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461281665\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-3584-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 93\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422442385548,"sku":"9781461281665","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461281665.jpg?v=1775740360","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461281665","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
