摘要:"Modern Solid Mechanics considers phenomena at many levels, ranging from nano size at atomic scale through the continuum level at mm size to large structures at the tens of meter scale. The deformation and fracture behavior at these various scales are inextricably related to interdisciplinary methods derived from applied mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering mechanics. This book in honor of James R. Rice collected articles from his colleagues and former students that employ these sophisticated methods to a wide range of problems." "The book will be a valuable resource for researchers in modern solid mechanics and can be used as reference or supplementary text in mechanical, civil engineering, applied mechanics, materials science and engineering graduate courses on fracture mechanics, elasticity, plasticity, mechanics of materials or the application of solid mechanics to processing, reliability of life predictions."--BOOK JACKET.
