It shows that influence functions play a fundamental role in the finite element analysis of structures and practically all of linear computational mechanics. It also strives to add new and important insights into modern structural analysis and into computational mechanics by establishing the central role of influence functions for the numerical analysis and to lay a new foundation to the energy and variational principles.MechanicsMechanics, AppliedSolid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Solid Mechanics.620.1Hartmann Friedelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut40769Jahn Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254324603321Statics and Influence Functions - from a Modern Perspective1948568UNINA04388nam 22007934a 450 991097433680332120200520144314.0978661209707297802623032860262303280978128209707012820970759780262280044026228004397805854506740585450676(CKB)111056485416656(SSID)ssj0000176589(PQKBManifestationID)11153806(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000176589(PQKBWorkID)10205898(PQKB)11077364(OCoLC)52341122(OCoLC)182530410(OCoLC)488499298(OCoLC)532395069(OCoLC)614958952(OCoLC)648223370(OCoLC)702106522(OCoLC)722564182(OCoLC)793523384(OCoLC)888539612(OCoLC)939263600(OCoLC)961552522(OCoLC)961681629(OCoLC)962674170(OCoLC)962681874(OCoLC)1037460792(OCoLC)1087262239(OCoLC-P)52341122(MaCbMITP)3666(Au-PeEL)EBL3338500(CaPaEBR)ebr10173553(CaONFJC)MIL209707(OCoLC)939263600(PPN)170239799(FR-PaCSA)88800158(MiAaPQ)EBC3338500(FRCYB88800158)88800158(EXLCZ)9911105648541665620020717d2003 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrImagination and the meaningful brain /Arnold H.

In Imagination and the Meaningful Brain, psychoanalyst Arnold Modell claims that subjective human experience must be included in any scientific explanation of how the mind/brain works. Contrary to current attempts to describe mental functioning as a form of computation, his view is that the construction of meaning is not the same as information processing. The intrapsychic complexities of human psychology, as observed through introspection and empathic knowledge of other minds, must be added to the third-person perspective of cognitive psychology and neuroscience.Assuming that other mammals are conscious and conscious of their feelings, Modell emphasizes evolutionary continuities and discontinuities of emotion. The limbic system, the emotional brain, is of ancient origin, but only humans have the capacity for generative imagination. By means of metaphor, we are able to interpret, displace, and transform our feelings. To bolster his argument, Modell draws on a variety of disciplines--including psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, linguistics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. Only by integrating the objectivity of neuroscience, the phenomenology of introspection, and the intersubjective knowledge of psychoanalysis, he claims, will we be able fully to understand how the mind works.Emotions and cognitionImaginationMeaning (Psychology)Mind and bodyEmotions and cognition.Imagination.Meaning (Psychology)Mind and body.150.19/5Modell Arnold H.1924-162095MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974336803321Imagination and the meaningful brain4341278UNINA
