Introduction to Linear Elasticity, 3rd Edition provides an applications-oriented grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for students in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, biomedical engineering, as well as materials and earth science. The book is distinct from the traditional text aimed at graduate students in solid mechanics by introducing its subject at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The author's presentation allows students to apply the basic notions of stress analysis and move on to advanced work in continuum mechanics, plasticity, plate and shell theory, composite materials, and finite method analysis. |

Artificial Life Models in SoftwareThis book presents software tools, environments and realities dealing with creation, imitation and analysis of artefactual, virtual, and living forms, written by those who personally design and produce software, hardware, and art installations in artificial life, simulated complex systems, and virtual worlds.
This timely volume offers a... | | Informal PhilosophyFrom around the turn of the twentieth century, the founders of symbolic logic had a profound effect on subsequent philosophical practice. They saw the combination of logic and science as a model that philosophy should emulate. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) described it as a “scientific philosophy, grounded in mathematical logic.”... | | |
