This theory begins with the assumption of the undeniable existence of an ?amorphous lattice?, which allows one to relegate the theoretical uncertainties about the ultimate nature of the glass transition to a subsidiary role and thus take a more pragmatic approach towards the modelling of physical properties. The book introduces the reader not only to the subtle physical concepts underlying the dynamics, mechanics, and statistical physics of glasses and amorphous solids, but also to the essential mathematical and numerical methods that cannot be readily gleaned from specialized literature since they are spread out among many often technically demanding papers. These methods are presented in this book in such a way as to be sufficiently general, allowing for the mathematical or numerical description of novel physical phenomena observed in many different types of amorphous solids (including soft and granular systems), regardless of the atomistic details and particular chemistry of the material. This monograph is aimed at researchers and graduate-level students in physics, materials science, physical chemistry and engineering working in the areas of amorphous materials, soft matter and granular systems, statistical physics, continuum mechanics, plasticity, and solid mechanics. It is also particularly well suited to those working on molecular dynamics simulations, molecular coarse-grained simulations, as well as ab initio atomistic and DFT methods for solid-state and materials science. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v1015 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aGlass 606 $aMaterials science?Data processing 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aSoft condensed matter 606 $aMaterials?Analysis 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics 606 $aGlass 606 $aAtomistic Models 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter 606 $aCharacterization and Analytical Technique 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aGlass. 615 0$aMaterials science?Data processing. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aSoft condensed matter. 615 0$aMaterials?Analysis. 615 14$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aGlass. 615 24$aAtomistic Models. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aSoft and Granular Matter. 615 24$aCharacterization and Analytical Technique. 676 $a530.413 676 $a530.413 700 $aZaccone$b Alessio$01369679 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746090503321 996 $aTheory of Disordered Solids$93396304 997 $aUNINA
