Modeling Nonlinear Problems in the Mechanics of Strings and Rods The Role of the Balance Laws

This book presents theories of deformable elastic strings and rods and their application to broad classes of problems. Readers will gain insights into the formulation and analysis of models for mechanical and biological systems. Emphasis is placed on how the balance laws interplay with constitutive...
