{"product_id":"elasticity-and-geometry-basile-audoly-9780198826262","title":"Elasticity and Geometry: From Hair Curls to the Non-Linear Response of Shells","description":"We experience elasticity everywhere in daily life: in the straightening or curling of hairs, the irreversible deformations of car bodies after a crash, or the bouncing of elastic balls in ping-pong or soccer. The theory of elasticity is essential to the recent developments of applied and fundamental science, such as the bio-mechanics of DNA filaments and other macro-molecules, and the animation of virtual characters in computer graphics and materials science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, the emphasis is on the elasticity of thin bodies (plates, shells, rods) in connection with geometry. It covers such topics as the mechanics of hairs (curled and straight), the buckling instabilities of stressed plates, including folds and conical points appearing at larger stresses, the geometric rigidity of elastic shells, and the delamination of thin compressed films. It applies general methods of classical analysis, including advanced nonlinear aspects (bifurcation theory, boundary layer analysis), to derive detailed, fully explicit solutions to specific problems. These theoretical concepts are discussed in connection with experiments. Mathematical prerequisites are vector analysis and differential equations. The book can serve as a concrete introduction to nonlinear methods in analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Basile Audoly, Yves Pomeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198826265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198826262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Basile Audoly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914248519935,"sku":"9780198826262","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ad6e38df-0197-4670-b063-c6dc9469a221.jpg?v=1680641201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elasticity-and-geometry-basile-audoly-9780198826262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
