Patrick Oswald: Rheophysics 2 Volume Hardback Set, Gebunden

Klappentext

This two-volume set explores the flow of matter and the mechanical response of fluids and solids under stress or deformation, offering a unified perspective across traditionally separate domains. Each volume has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest advances, including new sections on Shear Transformation Zones in amorphous solids, yield-stress fluids and shear thickening in suspensions. Volume 1 introduces the rheological behaviour of materials, covering Newtonian fluid hydrodynamics, elasticity, plasticity and fracture in solids. Special attention is given to crystalline defects, and modern topics such as dislocation avalanches, plastic instabilities and grain boundary complexions. Volume 2 focuses on complex fluids, including viscoelastic fluids and solids such as polymer melts, rubber, surfactant solutions, suspensions and emulsions, and the volume concludes with a chapter on liquid crystals. Illustrated with experiments and applications from aeronautics to geophysics, this work is intended for researchers and graduate students in physics, engineering and materials science.
