Download or read book Waves in Nonlinear Pre-Stressed Materials written by M. Destrade and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers in this book provide a state-of-the-art examination of waves in pre-stressed materials. You’ll gain new perspectives via a multi-disciplinary approach that interweaves key topics. These topics include the mathematical modeling of incremental material response (elastic and inelastic), an analysis of the governing differential equations, and boundary-value problems. Detailed illustrations help you visualize key concepts and processes.
