„CEIIINOSSSTTUV”. Matematical structure of elastic bodies

Opis książki:

“The insightful essay of Professor Jan Rychlewski presented below was devised during his stay as a visiting professor at the Institute of Mechanical Problems in Moscow in 1983. It is devoted to the spectral analysis of symmetric fourth-order tensors – stiffness C and compliance S, describing the properties of linear elastic anisotropic materials. The presented general analysis has been divided into individual classes of material anisotropies, such as: full (triclinic) anisotropy, monoclinic, orthotropic, tetragonal, trigonal, cubic anisotropy, as well as transversal and full isotropy. […] J. Rychlewski’s monograph is a ground-breaking work. The subsequent known works on the same issue, i.e. the determination of the true elastic moduli and the corresponding eigentensors by M.M. Mehrabadi, S.C. Cowin […], and also by S. Sutcliffe […] were published much later, i.e. in 1990 and 1992, respectively. “ From the Preface by Prof. Zenon Mróz Chairman of the Editorial Committee Applied Mechanics Series The essay was translated from Russian and provided with extended commentary by Andrzej Ziółkowski, PhD, DSc. The book is available in two language versions – Polish and English.
