This book provides a comprehensive study of cracks situated at the interface of two piezoelectric materials. It discusses different electric boundary conditions along the crack faces, in particular the cases of electrically permeable, impermeable, partially permeable, and conducting cracks. The book...
Lecture Notes on Newtonian Mechanics
Lessons from Modern Concepts
Language: English
Release Date: August 15, 2013
One could make the claim that all branches of physics are basically generalizations of classical mechanics. It is also often the first course which is taught to physics students. The approach of this book is to construct an intermediate discipline between general courses of physics and analytical...

Robert Hooke’s Contributions to Mechanics
A Study in Seventeenth Century Natural Philosophy
Language: English
Release Date: December 6, 2012
In the history of science and philosophy and the philosophy of nature the name Robert Hooke has been largely ignored. If he is occasionally men tioned, it is usually in one of two ways: either he is briefly referred to in passing, or, he is viewed through the eyes of some later giant in the history...
