  • Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Elasticity-Plasticity

    Multiplicative Decomposition with Subloading Surface Model
    • 1st Edition
    • Koichi Hashiguchi
    • English
    Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Elasticity-Plasticit... empowers readers to fully understand the constitutive equation of finite strain, an essential piece in assessing the deformation/strength of materials and safety of structures. The book starts by providing a foundational overview of continuum mechanics, elasticity and plasticity, then segues into more sophisticated topics such as multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient tensor with the isoclinic concept and the underlying subloading surface concept. The subloading surface concept insists that the plastic strain rate is not induced suddenly at the moment when the stress reaches the yield surface but it develops continuously as the stress approaches the yield surface, which is crucially important for the precise description of cyclic loading behavior. Then, the exact formulations of the elastoplastic and viscoplastic constitutive equations based on the multiplicative decomposition are expounded in great detail. The book concludes with examples of these concepts and modeling techniques being deployed in real-world applications. Table of Contents:1. Mathematical Basics2. General (Curvilinear) Coordinate System3. Description of Deformation/Rotation in Convected Coordinate System4. Deformation/Rotation (Rate) Tensors5. Conservation Laws and Stress Tensors6. Hyperelastic Equations7. Development of Elastoplastic Constitutive Equations8. Multiplicative Decomposition of Deformation Gradient Tensor9. Multiplicative Hyperelastic-based Plastic and Viscoplastic Constitutive Equations10. Friction Model: Finite Sliding Theory

  • The Hidden Link Between Earth’s Magnetic Field and Climate

    • 1st Edition
    • Kilifarska N.A. + 2 more
    • English
    The Hidden Link Between Earth’s Magnetic Field and Climate offers a new framework of understanding and interpretation for both well-known and less known relations between different geophysical and meteorological variables which can improve the quality of climate modeling. The book reviews the most current research on both current and paleo data to introduce a causal chain of interactions between the geomagnetic field, energetic particles which bombard the Earth’s atmosphere, ozone and humidity near the tropopause, and surface temperature. The impacts of these complicated interactions is not uniformly distributed over the globe, thus contributing to our understanding of regional differences in climatic changes and the asymmetrical ozone distribution over the globe.
