{"product_id":"an-elementary-course-on-the-giovanni-barbero-9789810232245","title":"An Elementary Course on the Continuum Theory for Nematic Liquid Crystals","description":"This book was written to enable physicists and engineers to learn, within a single course, some topics in variational calculus, theory of elasticity, molecular models, and surface properties of nematic materials. It prepares graduate students for studies that require a simple knowledge in the physics of nematic liquid crystals.With this consideration in mind, the authors have formulated the problems concerning the continuum theory of liquid crystals into a precise form. In working out the solutions, they have analyzed, systematically and naturally, the techniques and methods of variational calculus. Special attention is dedicated to the analysis of well-posed and ill-posed variational problems. The presence of sub-surface discontinuity in the nematic orientation is analyzed using different techniques. A full chapter is devoted to this aspect of the theory of elasticity of nematic media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Barbero,Luiz Roberto Evangelista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810232241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810232245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 58","brand":"Giovanni Barbero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448087490815,"sku":"9789810232245","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec7e6ee3-5d19-412d-91fd-55036148816e.jpg?v=1777236809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-elementary-course-on-the-giovanni-barbero-9789810232245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
