Thermoelasticity with Finite Wave Speeds (Oxford Mathematical Monographs) by Józef Ignaczak and Martin Ostoja-Starzewski - 2009

US: Oxford University Press, 2009. Hardcover. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Generalized dynamic thermoelasticity is a vital area of research in continu um mechanics, free of the classical paradox of infinite propagation speeds of thermal signals in Fourier-type heat conduction. Besides that paradox, t he classical dynamic thermoelasticity theory offers either unsatisfactory o r poor descriptions of a solid's response at low temperatures or to a fast transient loading (say, due to short laser pulses). Several models have bee n developed and intensively studied over the past four decades, yet this bo ok, which aims to provide a point of reference in the field, is the first m onograph on the subject since the 1970s. Thermoelasticity with Finite Wave Speeds focuses on dynamic thermoelasticity governed by hyperbolic equations, and, in particular, on the two leading theories: that… Read More
