{"product_id":"material-geometry-manuel-de-leon-9789811232541","title":"Material Geometry: Groupoids in Continuum Mechanics","description":"This monograph is the first in which the theory of groupoids and algebroids is applied to the study of the properties of uniformity and homogeneity of continuous media. It is a further step in the application of differential geometry to the mechanics of continua, initiated years ago with the introduction of the theory of G-structures, in which the group G denotes the group of material symmetries, to study smoothly uniform materials.The new approach presented in this book goes much further by being much more general. It is not a generalization per se, but rather a natural way of considering the algebraic-geometric structure induced by the so-called material isomorphisms. This approach has allowed us to encompass non-uniform materials and discover new properties of uniformity and homogeneity that certain material bodies can possess, thus opening a new area in the discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manuel de Leon, Marcelo Epstein, Victor Manuel Jimenez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811232547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811232541\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 05\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Manuel de Leon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993568051455,"sku":"9789811232541","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_342dd539-36bd-4b20-a211-5e56dd1013b5.jpg?v=1683325057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/material-geometry-manuel-de-leon-9789811232541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
