Computational Mechanics of Discontinua (Hardcover)(美國原版)

Mechanics of Discontinua is the first book to comprehensively tackle both the theory ofthis rapidly developing topic and the applications that span a broad field of scientific and engineering disciplines, from traditional engineering to physics of particulates, nano-technology and micro-flows. Authored by a leading researcher who has been at the cutting edge of discontinua simulation developments over the last 15 years, the book is organized into four parts: introductory knowledge, solvers, methods and applications. In the first chapter a short revision of Continuum Mechanics together with tensorial calculus is introduced. Also, a short introduction to the finite element method is given. The second part of the book introduces key aspects of the subject. These include a diverse field of applications, together with fundamental theoretical and algorithmic aspects common to all methods of Mechanics of Discontinua. The third part of the book proceeds with the most important computational and simulation methods including Discrete Element Methods, the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method, Molecular Dynamics Methods, Fracture and Fragmentation solvers and Fluid Coupling. After these the reader is introduced to applications stretching from traditional engineering and industry (such as mining, oil industry, powders) to nanotechnology, medical and science.

《不連續體力學》是第一本全面探討這個快速發展領域的理論和應用的書籍，涵蓋了從傳統工程到顆粒物理學、納米技術和微流體等廣泛的科學和工程學科。本書由一位在過去15年間一直處於不連續體模擬發展前沿的領先研究者撰寫，分為四個部分：入門知識、求解器、方法和應用。第一章介紹了連續體力學和張量微積分的簡要回顧，並簡要介紹了有限元方法。書籍的第二部分介紹了該主題的關鍵方面，包括各種應用領域，以及所有不連續體力學方法共有的基本理論和算法方面。書籍的第三部分介紹了最重要的計算和模擬方法，包括離散元法、結合有限離散元法、分子動力學方法、斷裂和碎裂求解器以及流體耦合。在這些方法介紹之後，讀者將了解從傳統工程和工業（如礦業、石油工業、粉末）到納米技術、醫學和科學等廣泛應用領域。
