Sommario/riassunto

Questi ventitré saggi del professor Cohn sono raccolti qui per la prima volta. La prima sezione riguarda la metodologia all'interno delle discipline della storia e dell'antropologia, in particolare si riferiscono a scritti accademici sull'India. Le successive quattro sezioni riguardano, invece, la "storia antropologica".

Sommario/riassunto

This unique volume presents the state of the art in the field of multiscale modeling in solid mechanics, with particular emphasis on computational approaches. For the first time, contributions from both leading experts in the field and younger promising researchers are combined to give a comprehensive description of the recently proposed techniques and the engineering problems tackled using these techniques.  The book begins with a detailed introduction to the theories on which different multiscale approaches are based, with regards to linear Homogenisation as well as various nonlinear approa
