Continuum mechanics and elasticity theory form the backbone of modern investigations into material behaviour, providing a framework that combines geometric principles with differential equations to ...

In Soklakov (2015a), we reviewed the shortcomings of the precrisis approach to product design and advocated the need for a better, more quantitative, approach. We first constructed such an approach in ...

In a crystalline solid, the atoms form an ordered lattice. Crystalline solids respond elastically to small deformations: When the applied strain is removed, the macroscopic stress, as well as the ...
