Composite Structures and Technology: In Memoriam to Prof. Cristóvão Manuel Mota Soares
暫譯: 複合結構與技術：紀念克里斯托瓦奧·曼努埃爾·莫塔·索亞雷斯教授

本書獻給已故的克里斯托瓦奧·曼努埃爾·莫塔·索亞雷斯教授，他曾是里斯本大學高等技術學院的副教授，於2025年7月3日去世。

在本書中，許多他的同事和朋友貢獻了他們對於分析、數值及基於機器學習的方法的最新見解，以更好地理解複合材料、層壓殼、功能梯度結構和納米增強梁。本書涵蓋了經典力學、高階理論、無網格和有限元素的公式化，以及新興的數據驅動方法，如物理知識神經網絡和極限學習機。

所有這些令人印象深刻的貢獻強調了克里斯托瓦奧·曼努埃爾·莫塔·索亞雷斯對於力學發展的重大影響。
