This book provides novel insights into two fundamental subjects in solid mechanics: virtual work and shape change. The author explains how the principle of virtual work represents a tool for analysis
Predictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g.solid-liquid phase change, volume and surface damage, and phase change inv
?Mechanics, Models and Methods in Civil Engineering” collects leading papers dealing with actual Civil Engineering problems. The approach is in the line of the Italian-French school and therefore deep
