This book presents recent findings on the global existence, the uniqueness and the large-time behavior of global solutions of thermo(vis)coelastic systems and related models arising in physics, mechanics and materials science such as thermoviscoelastic systems, thermoelastic systems of types II and III, as well as Timoshenko-type systems with past history.

This textbook presents the classical treatment of the problems of heat transfer in an exhaustive manner with due emphasis on understanding of the physics of the problems.

This book highlights the theories and research progress in gaseous detonation research, and proposes a universal framework theory that overcomes the current research limitations.

This pioneering book presents new models for the thermomechanical behavior of composite materials and structures taking into account internal physico-chemical transformations such as thermodecomposition, sublimation and melting at high temperatures (up to 3000 K).

The theory of thermoelasticity studies the interaction between thermal and mechan- ical fields in elastic bodies.

This book does not give a prediction of what the efficiency will be of the energy use of industrial processes in the future.

Ordinary differential control thPory (the classical theory) studies input/output re- lations defined by systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE).

The thermodynamics of the atmosphere is the subject of several chapters in most textbooks on dynamic meteorology, but there is no work in English to give the subject a specific and more extensive treatment.

Crystal growth, casting, soldering, welding, high-energy surface treatment, nuclear safety systems and geophysical flows are just a few examples where solidification and convection occur together.

A comprehensive assessment of the methodologies of thermodynamic optimization, exergy analysis and thermoeconomics, and their application to the design of efficient and environmentally sound energy systems.

Physicists, when modelling physical systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, and statisticians, when performing data analysis, have developed their own concepts and methods for making the `best' inference.

During the last decades a considerable effort has been made on the computation of the isothermal flow of viscoelastic fluids.

Technical progress has for a very long time been directly dependent on progress in metallurgy, which is itself connected with improvements in the technology of alloys.

The papers included in this volume were presented at the Symposium on Advances in the Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Material Behavior, held as part of the 1999 Joint ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Summer Conference at Virginia Tech on June 27-30, 1999.

Approach your problems from the right end It isn't that they can't see the solution.

Geostationary or equatorial synchronous satellites are a daily reminder of our space efforts during the past two decades.

This book traces the history of the concept of work from its earliest stages and shows that its further formalization leads to equilibrium principle and to the principle of virtual works, and so pointing the way ahead for future research and applications.

The present work reflects a multi-disciplinary effort to address the topic of confined hydrosystems developed with a cross-fertilization panel of physics, chemists, biologists, soil and earth scientists.

Thermal processes are ubiquitous and an understanding of thermal phenomena is essential for a complete description of the physics of nanoparticles, both for the purpose of modeling the dynamics of the particles and for the correct interpretation of experimental data.

This book sets out the basic materials science needed for understanding the plastic deformation of rocks and minerals.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a general framework that allows the macroscopic description of irreversible processes.

Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces.

For more than three decades, the US Standard Atmosphere has been used by researchers and professionals in many areas of aeronautics and atmospheric sciences.

This textbook takes an interdisciplinary approach to the subject of thermodynamics and is therefore suitable for  undergraduates in chemistry, physics and engineering courses.

This companion provides a collection of frequently needed numerical data as a convenient desk-top or pocket reference for atmospheric scientists as well as a concise source of information for others interested in this matter.

In this book the theory of social production is systematically formulated in terms and concepts of classical political economy and neo-classical economics.

Colloids are submicron particles that are ubiquitous in nature (milk, clay, blood) and industrial products (paints, drilling fluids, food).

This is the second edition of the book "e;Thermodynamics of Fluids under Flow,"e; which was published in 2000 and has now been corrected, expanded and updated.

Pierre Duhem (1861-1916) held the chair of theoretical physics at Bordeaux from 1894 to his death.

The book is basic in the sense that it begins at the beginning and is entirely self-contained.

Thermodynamics is a practical science and also deals with these inhomogeneous dynamic systems provided the thermodynamical parameters are well-defined.

The fast progress in many areas of research related to non-equilibrium ther- dynamics has prompted us to write a fourth edition of this book.

Con?

In questo libro, con il consueto stile di scrittura semplice ma allo stesso tempo estremamente rigoroso, che ha sempre caratterizzato i testi dell'autore, le tre discipline di Meccanica dei Fluidi, Termodinamica e Statistica sono presentate per la prima volta in un contesto unitario, come è corretto aspettarsi per un primo approccio allo studio dei sistemi continui formati da un grandissimo numero di particelle.

This textbook is the result of many years of teaching quantum and statistical mechanics, drawing on exercises and exam papers used on courses taught by the authors.
