Biomechanics has a distinguished history extending at least to the 16th Century. However the later half oftbis century has seen an explosion ofthe field with it being viewed as affering exciting challenges for physical scientists and engineers interested in the life sciences, and wonderful opportunities for life scientists eager to collaborate with physical scientists and engineers and to render their scientific work more fundamental. That the field is now weil established and expanding is demonstrated by the formation of a World Committee for Biomechanics and the success and large participation in the 1st and 2nd World Congresses of Biomechanics, held respectively in San Diego in 1990 and i...
These original research papers, written during a period of over a quarter of a century, have two main objectives. The first is to lay the foundations of the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian Manifolds, and the second to establish various existence and regularity theorems as well as the explicit constructions of such maps.
With the global renewal of interest in PVC, this comprehensive book is well timed. Considering that PVC stabilization is the most important part of its formulation and performance, only four books have ever been published on this subject, and none since the 1980s. This book contains information on: chemical structure; PVC manufacturing technology; morphology; degradation by thermal energy and UV, gamma, and other forms of radiation; mechanodegradation; chemical degradation; analytic methods used in studying degradative and stabilization processes; stabilization; and the effect of PVC and its additives on health, safety, and environment. This is the one authoritative source on this subject.
