This volume contains selected reports delivered at the international conference on "Modern mathematical problems of mechanics and their applications", which took place in Moscow in 1987 on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Academician L. I. Sedov. The papers are devoted to a wide range of problems of modern mechanics, including general relativity and gravitation, construction and investigation of models of continuum mechanics, gas dynamics (with due regard to physical and chemical processes), hydromechanics, hydrodynamic stability and turbulence, magnetohydrodynamics, electrodynamics, and nonlinear problems of mechanics of deformable solid body. Containing results buy well-known specialists, this book is of interest to specialists in mechanics and mathematics.
The Thirteenth International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics was held in Moscow from Monday, 21 August, to Saturday, 26 August 1972. About 2500 participants from 37 countries all over the world attended the congress that was convened by the Congress Committee of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The local or ganization lay in the hands of the Organizing Committee, established by the USSR National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The USSR Academy of Sciences rendered partial financial help to the organization of th8 congress. The Organizing Committee was assisted by the Institute of Problems of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences,...
Advances in Applied Mechanics
This important monograph is the first comprehensive compendium of engineering models used in high-speed penetration mechanics.The book consists of two parts. The first part (more than a quarter of the book's content) is in fact a handbook giving a very detailed summary of the engineering models used for the analysis of high-speed penetration of rigid projectiles into various media (concrete, metals, geological media). The second part of the book demonstrates the possibilities and efficiency of using approximate models for investigating traditional and nontraditional problems of penetration mechanics.Different chapters in the books are devoted to different classes of problems and can be read independently. Each chapter is self-contained, which includes a comprehensive literature survey of the topic, and carries a list of used notations. The bibliography includes more than 700 references.This monograph is a reliable and indispensable reference guide for anyone interested in using engineering models in high-speed penetration mechanics.
Problems of Point Blast Theory covers all the main topics of modern theory with the exception of applications to nova and supernova outbursts. All the presently known theoretical results are given and problems which are still to be resolved are indicated. A special feature of the book is the sophisticated mathematical approach. Of interest to specialists and graduate students working in hydrodynamics, explosion theory, plasma physics, mathematical physics, and applied mathematics.
