Sommario/riassunto

Deformations of elastic bodies are encountered in many areas in science, engineering and technology. In the last decades, various numerical approaches using the finite element technique have been developed, but many are not adequate to address the full complexity.This work treats the elasticity of deformed bodies, including the resulting interior stresses and displacements. Other than comparable books, this work also takes into account that some of constitutive relations can be considered in a weak form. To discuss this problem properly, the method of integrodifferential relations is used, and an advanced numerical technique for stress-strain analysis is presented



and evaluated using various discretization techniques. The methods presented in this book are of importance for almost all elasticity problems in materials science and mechanical engineering.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION RACIAL PREFERENCE IN BLACK AND WHITE; Copyright; Contents; Series Editors' Introduction; Introduction; 1 Affirmative Action Past and Present; 2 White Racial Preference in Education; 3 Responding to Critics of Affirmative Action; 4 Defending Affirmative Action:it's About More Than Diversity; Notes; Index

Sommario/riassunto

Affirmative Action examines the larger structure of institutional white privilege in education, and compares the magnitude of white racial preference with the policies typically envisioned when the term ""racial preference"" is used. In doing so, the book demonstrates that the American system of education is both a reflection of and a contributor to a structure of institutionalized racism and racial preference for the dominant majority.
