Conventional mechanics of materials books treat elastic deformations of solids through one-dimensional models for extension of rods, torsion of shafts and bending of beams. In functional materials, elastic, thermal, electric and magnetic fields interact. A systematic treatment of these fields and their interactions for one-dimensional models of extension, torsion and bending of beams in addition to the underlying three-dimensional theory is presented in new book, Mechanics of Functional Materials, by Professor of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Jiashi Yang.
The book has a unique selection and organization of topics. One-dimensional models for the extension of rods, torsion of shafts and bending of beams are established systematically using a mixed approach. The one-dimensional field equations are established directly from one-dimensional models. The three-dimensional strain-displacement relations are used to calculate the relevant strain components of the one-dimensional models. The one-dimensional constitutive relations are always reduced from the three-dimensional ones.
Intended for professors, graduate students, researchers and engineers, Mechanics of Functional Materials retails for US$88 / £75 (hardcover) and is also available in electronic formats. To order or know more about the book, visit http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/13133.
