This book gives an insight into the current developments in the field of continuum mechanics. Twenty-five researchers present new theoretical concepts, e.g., better inclusion of the microstructure in the models describing material behavior. At the same time, there are also more applications for the theories in engineering practice. In addition to new theoretical approaches in continuum mechanics and applications, the book puts an emphasis on discussing multi-physics problems.

This book offers a current image of modern mechanics. The book reflects current state of the art in the field of continuum mechanics and mechanics of structures including recent achievements in classic and non-classic approaches. The chapters are written by leading specialist in the field, so the book collects cutting edge investigations in the field. As a target we consider the society starting from beginners, i.e. master and PhD students, and also leaders in the field, that is professors of universities and civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers.

This book covers research from modern directions in solid mechanics, in particular, in the fields of mechanics of composite materials, fracture mechanics, strength of materials and structures, thermo-viscoelasticity and plasticity, mechanics of shell structures, contact mechanics, theory of wave propagation, dynamics of mechanical and hydromechanical systems. The book presents some new results in the main research directions in mechanics on which the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine are focused. In addition to these studies, the results of joint scientific projects of the academic institutions with universities and research institutions of Ukraine are presented. The work is dedicated to the 145th anniversary of Stepan Prokopovich Timoshenko, the world-famous scientist in the field of mechanics, the founder of the Institute of Mechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, one of the founders of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and academic teacher with world-wide reputation with great influence on engineering education.

This monograph presents the geometric foundations of continuum mechanics. An emphasis is placed on increasing the generality and elegance of the theory by scrutinizing the relationship between the physical aspects and the mathematical notions used in its formulation. The theory of uniform fluxes in affine spaces is covered first, followed by the smooth theory on differentiable manifolds, and ends with the non-smooth global theory. Because continuum mechanics provides the theoretical foundations for disciplines like fluid dynamics and stress analysis, the author’s extension of the theory will enable researchers to better describe the mechanics of modern materials and biological tissues. The global approach to continuum mechanics also enables the formulation and solutions of practical optimization problems. Foundations of Geometric Continuum Mechanics will be an invaluable resource for researchers in the area, particularly mathematicians, physicists, and engineers interested in the foundational notions of continuum mechanics.
