Basic concepts and equations of solid mechanics

Basic Themes and Pretty Problems of Nonlinear Solid Mechanics

The first part of this paper describes some important underlying themes in the mathematical theory of continuum mechanics that are distinct from formulating and analyzing governing equations. The main part of this paper is devoted to a survey of some concrete, conceptually simple, pretty problems that help illuminate the underlying themes. The paper concludes with a discussion of the crucial ro...

Relating basic concepts of pulmonary mechanics to clinical situations.

How the pressure-volume relationships of the lungs and chest wall interact to determine the compliance characteristics of the respiratory system is perhaps one of the more difficult conceptual areas in pulmonary physiology both to teach and for first-year medical school physiology students to master. An understanding of this material is nevertheless important, because it allows the student to i...

existence and approximate $l^{p}$ and continuous solution of nonlinear integral equations of the hammerstein and volterra types

بسیاری از پدیده ها در جهان ما اساساً غیرخطی هستند، و توسط معادلات غیرخطی ‎‏بیان شد‎‎‏ه اند. از آنجا که ظهور کامپیوترهای رقمی با عملکرد بالا، حل مسایل خطی را آسان تر می کند. با این حال، به طور کلی به دست آوردن جوابهای دقیق از مسایل غیرخطی دشوار است. روش عددی، به طور کلی محاسبه پیچیده مسایل غیرخطی را اداره می کند. با این حال، دادن نقاط به یک منحنی و به دست آوردن منحنی کامل که اغلب پرهزینه و ...

Basic Concepts and Principles

This paper reviews and discusses some key concept and principles of risk analysis and risk management, based on a set of statements, formulated as myths about risk. Examples of such myths are: risk is equal to the expected value, risk equals uncertainty, risk can be expressed by probabilities, risk is equal to an event, risk acceptance criteria contribute to obtaining a high safety standard, an...
