"This book shows impressively how complex mathematical modeling of materials can be applied to technological problems. Top-class researchers present the theoretical approaches in modern mechanics and apply them to real-world problems in solid mechanics, creep, plasticity, fracture, impact, and friction. They show how they can be applied to technological challenges in various fields like aerospace technology, biological sciences and modern engineering materials." -- Back cover Front Matter....Pages i-xxvii Multi-mode Symmetric and Asymmetric Solutions in the Jeffery–Hamel Problem for a Convergent Channel....Pages 1-31 Riemann’s Method in Plasticity: A Review....Pages 33-47 Homogenization of Corrugated Plates Based on the Dimension Reduction for the Periodicity Cell Problem....Pages 49-72 Consideration of Non-uniform and Non-orthogonal Mechanical Loads for Structural Analysis of Photovoltaic Composite Structures....Pages 73-122 Block Element Method for the Stamps of the no Classical Form....Pages 123-132 On the Irreversible Deformations Growth in the Material with Elastic, Viscous, and Plastic Properties and Additional Requirements to Yield Criteria....Pages 133-151 On Nonlocal Surface Elasticity and Propagation of Surface Anti-Plane Waves....Pages 153-162 Deformation of Spherical Inclusion in an Elastic Body with Account for Influence of Interface Considered as Infinitesimal Layer with Abnormal Properties....Pages 163-169 Analysis of Internal Stresses in a Viscoelastic Layer in Sliding Contact....Pages 171-181 On the Problem of Diffusion in Materials Under Vibrations....Pages 183-193 A Study of Objective Time Derivatives in Material and Spatial Description....Pages 195-229 On Electronically Restoring an Imperfect Vibratory Gyroscope to an Ideal State....Pages 231-256 Shock Wave Rise Time and the Viscosity of Liquids and Solids....Pages 257-263 Lowest Vibration Modes of Strongly Inhomogeneous Elastic Structures....Pages 265-277 Geometrical Inverse Thermoelastic Problem for Multiple Inhomogeneities....Pages 279-295 Indentation of the Regular System of Punches into the Foundation with Routh Coating....Pages 297-308 Physical Modeling of Rock Deformation and Fracture in the Vicinity of Well for Deep Horizons....Pages 309-317 Full Axially Symmetric Contact of a Rigid Punch with a Rough Elastic Half-Space....Pages 319-326 Geometric Aspects of the Theory of Incompatible Deformations in Growing Solids....Pages 327-347 Free Vibrations of a Transversely Isotropic Plate with Application to a Multilayer Nano-Plate....Pages 349-362 On Thermodynamics of Wave Processes of Heat Transport....Pages 363-376 The Technological Stresses in a Vaulted Structure Built Up on a Falsework....Pages 377-386 Reversible Plasticity Shape-Memory Effect in Epoxy Nanocomposites: Experiments, Modeling and Predictions....Pages 387-415 The Dynamics of an Accreting Vibrating Rod....Pages 417-431 A New, Direct Approach Toward Modeling Rate-Dependent Fatigue Failure of Metals....Pages 433-447
