Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of the Navier-Stokes Equations
Volume II: Nonlinear Steady Problems
Häftad, 2011
554 kr

This is the second of four volumes on the Navier-Stokes equations, specifically on Nonlinear Stationary Problems. The volumes deal with the fundamental mathematical properties of the Navier-Stokes equations, such as existence, regularity and uniqueness of solutions, and, for unbounded domains, …
Commentary on Thermodynamics
Häftad, 2012
554 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The aim of this book is to comment on, and clarify, the mathematical aspects of the theory of thermodynamics. The standard presentations of the subject are often beset by a number of obscurities associated with the words "state", "reversible", "irreversible", and "quasi-static". This book is …
Rational extended thermodynamics
Av Ingo Mueller, Tommaso Ruggeri
Häftad, 2011
1425 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Ordinary thermodynamics provides reliable results when the thermodynamic fields are smooth, in the sense that there are no steep gradients and no rapid changes. In fluids and gases this is the domain of the equations of Navier-Stokes and Fourier. Extended thermodynamics becomes relevant for rapidly …

The efficiency of the phase-integral method developed by the present au thors has been shown both analytically and numerically in many publica tions. With the inclusion of supplementary quantities, closely related to new Stokes constants and obtained with the aid of comparison equation technique, …
Continua with Microstructure
Häftad, 2011
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book proposes a new general setting for theories of bodies with microstructure when they are described within the scheme of the con tinuum: besides the usual fields of classical thermomechanics (dis placement, stress, temperature, etc.) some new fields enter the picture (order parameters, …
Boundary Value Problems of Finite Elasticity
Local Theorems on Existence, Uniqueness, and Analytic Dependence on Data
Häftad, 2011
554 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In this book I present, in a systematic form, some local theorems on existence, uniqueness, and analytic dependence on the load, which I have recently obtained for some types of boundary value problems of finite elasticity. Actually, these results concern an n-dimensional (n ~ 1) formal …
Rational Kinematics
Häftad, 2011
554 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A rational study of kinematics is a treatment of the subject based on invariants, i.e., quantities that remain essentially unchanged under a change of observer. An observer is understood to be a reference frame supplied with a clock (Truesdell 1966). This study will therefore include an …
Heat Conduction Within Linear Thermoelasticity

J-B. J. FOURIER'S immensely influential treatise Theorie Analytique de la Chaleur [21J, and the subsequent developments and refinements of FOURIER's ideas and methods at the hands of many authors, provide a highly successful theory of heat conduction. According to that theory, the growth or decay …

Magnetohydrodynamics is concerned with the motion of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of electric or magnetic fields. Un fortunately, the subject has a rather poorly developed experimental basis and because of the difficulties inherent in carrying out controlled laboratory …
Foundations of Physics

Lägg i varukorg
This is not an introduction to physics but an analysis of its founda tions. Indeed, the aims of this book are: (1) to analyze the form and content of some of the key ideas of physics; (2) to formulate several basic physical theories in an explicit and orderly (i. e. , axiomatic) fashion; (3) to …
Uniqueness Theorems in Linear Elasticity
Häftad, 2011
552 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The classical result for uniqueness in elasticity theory is due to Kirchhoff. It states that the standard mixed boundary value problem for a homogeneous isotropic linear elastic material in equilibrium and occupying a bounded three-dimensional region of space possesses at most one solution in the …
Thermodynamics of Simple Materials with Fading Memory
Häftad, 2011

Lägg i varukorg
Due to the fundamental role of differential equations in science and engineering it has long been a basic task of numerical analysts to generate numerical values of solutions to differential equations. Nearly all approaches to this task involve a "finitization" of the original differential equation …

There are currently many practical situations in which one wishes to determine the coefficients in an ordinary or partial differential equation from known functionals of its solution. These are often called "inverse problems of mathematical physics" and may be contrasted with problems in which an …
