Zhilin P.A. Advanced Problems in Mechanics. Volume 2

Selection of articles presented at the Annual Summer School – Conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics”. — St. Petersburg: Edition of the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering of Russian Academy of Sciences, 2006. — 306 p.In this selection you may find presentations by P.A. Zhilin given from 1994 to 2005 at the International Summer School – Conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics”.
This book consists of two volumes: the first one containes articles in Russian, and the second one in English. The scope of the questions under discussion is wide. It includes fundamental laws of mechanics, direct tensor calculus, dynamics of rigid bodies, nonlinear theory of rods, general theory of inelastic media including the theory of plasticity, consolidating granular media, phase transitions, and also piezoelectricity, ferromagnetism, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics. This selection of papers by P.A. Zhilin, in fact, presents method of construction of continual theories with rotational degrees of freedom, mathematical technique necessary for this purpose, and also examples of application of the theories mentioned above to the description of various physical phenomena.
For researchers, PhD students, undergraduate students of last years specializing in mechanics and theoretical physics.Том 1 (на русском языке)
