Читать книгу Viscoplastic Flow in Solids Produced by Shear Banding - Ryszard B. Pecherski - Страница 8

The book's readers may be graduate and postgraduate students in engineering, particularly material science and mechanical engineering. Researchers working on the physical foundations of inelastic deformation of metallic solids and numerical simulations of manufacturing processes could also benefit from this study. The content of the work is also directed at specialists in the field of rational mechanics of materials. The prerequisite knowledge of material science and continuum mechanics with related mathematical foundations, as vector and tensor algebra and tensor analysis, will appear helpful for the readers. The fundamental background may provide the recent work written by eminent scholars of great experience, Morton E. Gurtin, Eliot Fried, and Lallit Anand (Gurtin et al. 2009). Also, a modern and integrated study across the different observation scales of the foundation of solid mechanics applied to the mathematical description of material behaviour presented in the pivotal work (Asaro and Lubarda 2006) is recommendable for the readers. These works comprehensively cover the subject of rational thermomechanics, being the contemporary approach of classical treatises ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants), cf. Chapter 4 for the discussion of a historical thread.
