This is the realm of ‘extreme mechanics’, to which this book is addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe possibility of exploiting highly deformable structures opens new and unexpected technological possibilities. In particular, the challenge is the design of deformable and bi-stable mechanisms which can reach superior mechanical performances and can have a strong impact on several high-tech applications, including stretchable electronics, nanotube serpentines, deployable structures for aerospace engineering, cable deployment in the ocean, but also sensors and flexible actuators and vibration absorbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders are introduced to a variety of interrelated topics involving the mechanics of extremely deformable structures, with emphasis on bifurcation, instability and nonlinear behavior, both in the quasi-static and dynamic regimes. Essential and up-to-date theoretical, numerical and experimental methodologies are covered, as a tool to progress towards a satisfactory modeling of the nonlinear behavior of structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783709118764\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-7091-1877-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Vienna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382274277516,"sku":"9783709118764","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783709118764.jpg?v=1775748406","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783709118764","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
