Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is ideal for advanced students, researchers, and professionals engaged in engineering mechanics, applied mathematics, climate science, and nanotechnology, who require a strong mathematical foundation for solving differential equations in complex engineering problems.

Comprehensive coverage of the essential differential equations students are likely to encounter in solving engineering and mechanics problems -- alongside a preliminary companion text on theory. This covers a very broad range of problems, with a focus on the mathematical technique for solving the differential equations involved.

Description

This second of two comprehensive reference texts on differential equations continues coverage of the essential material students are likely to encounter in solving engineering and mechanics problems across the field—alongside a preliminary volume on theory.

Applications of Differential Equations in Engineering and Mechanics covers a very broad range of problems, including beams and columns, plates, shells, structural dynamics, catenary and cable suspension bridge, nonlinear buckling, transports and waves in fluids, geophysical fluid flows, nonlinear waves and solitons, Maxwell equations, Schrödinger equations, celestial mechanics, and fracture mechanics and dynamics. The focus is on the mathematical technique for solving the differential equations involved.

All readers who are concerned with and interested in engineering mechanics problems, climate change, and nanotechnology will find topics covered in this book providing valuable information and mathematics background for their multi-disciplinary research and education.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Ken P. Chong, George Washington University, USA praises the book as a "very unique and useful" resource with "elaborate and novel applications, modeling, examples and interpretations," highlighting its role in advancing research. John Rudnicki, Northwestern University, describes it as an "impressive and original treatment" that covers a wide range of topics and asserts it will be an excellent tool for both students and researchers.

About the Author

Professor K.T. Chau is Chair Professor of Geotechnical Engineering and former Associate Dean (Research and Development) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where he was awarded the "Teaching Excellence Award in 2012/2013" by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and past President of the Hong Kong Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. He is the Chairman of the Elasticity Committee of the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE, the Chairman of the TC103 Technical Committee of Numerical Methods on Geomechanics of International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering and the Chairman of the Geomechanics Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME. He is also the Vice President of the Hong Kong Institute of Science. His book "Analytic Methods in Geomechanics" was published in 2013 by CRC Press, and it is the first book of its kind, covering, continuum mechanics, tensor analysis, 2-D elasticity, 3-D elasticity, plasticity, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, poroelasticity, and dynamics and waves in geomaterials. Since 2012, he has been teaching subjects called "Engineering Analysis" and "Engineering Analysis & Computation" at PolyU. They are mainly using differential equations in engineering analysis.
