Geometric Mechanics on Riemannian Manifolds Applications to partial Differential Equations

Differential geometry techniques have very useful and important applications in partial differential equations and quantum mechanics. This work presents a purely geometric treatment of problems in physics involving quantum harmonic oscillators, quartic os...

 Global Analysis in Mathematical Physics Geometric and Stochastic Models

This book gives a common treatment to three areas of application of Global analysis to Mathematical Physics previously considered quite distant from each other. These areas are the geometry of manifolds applied to classical mechanics, stochastic different...

 Vector Mechanics for Engineers Statics and Dynamics

The new Eighth Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Beer/Johnston series. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the Eighth Edition provides conceptually accurate and ...

 Plasticity A Treatise on finite Deformation of Heterogeneous Inelastic Materials

Providing a basic foundation for advanced graduate study and research in the mechanics of solids, this treatise contains a systematic development of the fundamentals of finite inelastic deformations of heterogeneous materials. The book combines the mathem...

 Statistical Mechanics of Disordered Systems A Mathematical Pespective

Our mathematical understanding of the statistical mechanics of disordered systems is going through a period of stunning progress. This self-contained book is a graduate-level introduction for mathematicians and for physicists interested in the mathematica...

 Mechanics

The study of mechanics is an integral part of all physics and engineering courses. But emphasis on the knowledge of mechanics differs widely from one university to the next. The contents of this book have been selected and developed to provide a bridge...

 Interfacial Transport Phenomena

This is an extensively revised second edition of "Interfacial Transport Phenomena", a unique presentation of transport phenomena or continuum mechanics focused on momentum, energy, and mass transfer at interfaces. In addition to tightening the focus of th...

 Vector Mechanics for Engineers Dynamics

For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, a...

 Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics

Known for its accuracy, clarity, and applications, Meriam & Kraige's Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics has provided a solid foundation of mechanics principles for more than 50 years. Now in its new Sixth Edition, the text continues to help students d...

 Experimental Rock Mechanics

EXPERIMENTAL ROCK MECHANICS treats fundamental rock mechanics aspects which are pertinent to the areas of tectonophysics and seismology. It is clearly focused on the fracture and flow of rocks under stress and their geophysical and seismological implicati...

  Applied Fluid Mechanics

For undergraduate-level courses in Fluid Mechanics or Hydraulics in Mechanical, Chemical, and Civil Engineering Technology and Engineering programs. The most popular applications-oriented approach to engineering technology fluid mechanics, this text co...

 Sneaking a look at god's cards Unraveling the mysteries of quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles, seems to challenge common sense. Waves behave like particles; particles behave like waves. You can tell where a particle is, but not how fast it is moving--or vice versa. An electron ...

 Statistical mechanics of complex networks

Networks can provide a useful model and graphic image useful for the description of a wide variety of web-like structures in the physical and man-made realms, e.g. protein networks, food webs and the Internet. The contributions gathered in the present vol...
