[705]-735) and indexConstitutive modelling is the mathematical description of how materials respond to various loadings. This is the most intensely researched field within solid mechanics because of its complexity and the importance of accurate constitutive models for practical engineering problems. Topics covered include: Elasticity - Plasticity theory - Creep theory - The nonlinear finite element method - Solution of nonlinear equilibrium equations - Integration of elastoplastic constitutive equations - The thermodynamic framework for constitutive modelling Thermoplasticity - Uniqueness and discontinuous bifurcations More comprehensive in scope than competitive titles, with detailed discussion of thermodynamics and numerical methods. Offers appropriate strategies for numerical solution, illustrated by discussion of specific models. Demonstrates each topic in a complete and self-contained framework, with extensive referencingElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsMechanics, AppliedMathematical modelsElectronic books.localRistinmaa, Mattiauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut738996Original008044606X9780080446066(DLC) 2006273557(OCoLC)60740765Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780080446066An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0632/2006273557-d.html.b1365263103-03-2224-01-08991003232739707536Mechanics of constitutive modeling1463932UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 40
