IUTAM Symposium on Non-Linear Singularities in Deformation and Flow (Proceedings of the Iutam Symposium Held in Haifa, Israel, 17)
Description
This volume contains the contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Non-Linear Singularities in Deformation and Flow held in Haifa, Israel, 17-21 March 1997. Singularity-dominated local fields are frequently encountered in various branches of continuum mechanics, such as elasticity, plasticity, Newtonian fluids and more complex rheological models. This book is a unique collection of outstanding lectures over a broad spectrum of rheological models with singularities as the `Leitmotiv': 30 papers on the most recent developments in the analysis and understanding of non-linear singularities. Examples are provided by near tip fields of cracks, notches and wedges; interfacial phenomena; flow around corners, wedges and cones; moving contact lines in multiphase systems; cusps in fluid interfaces and shocks and localizations.
The volume will be of interest to researchers and engineers in virtually all branches of continuum mechanics.
