An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Dynamic Materials / Edition 1

by Konstantin A. Lurie

Overview

This fascinating book is a treatise on real space-age materials. It is a mathematical treatment of a novel concept in material science that characterizes the properties of dynamic materials—that is, material substances whose properties are variable in space and time. Unlike conventional composites that are often found in nature, dynamic materials are mostly the products of modern technology developed to maintain the most effective control over dynamic processes.

Editorial Reviews

It is competently written and provides a solid introduction to the mathematical analysis of dynamic materials and their optimization with some examples from mechanics and electromagnetics. The book will be of great interest for engineers and applied mathematicians interested in dynamic materials.” (M. Cengiz Dökmeci, zbMATH 1383.74003, 2018)
