Geometry Processing is an emerging research field whose goal is to develop the new mathematical, computational, and engineering tools needed for efficient processing of 3D geometric information. This book contains the research papers presented at the Fifth Eurographics/ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP), held in Barcelona, Spain, July 4-6, 2007. SGP is the premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in computerized processing of geometric models. The research papers included in this book address diverse topics in Geometry Processing, including: shape interrogation, modeling, and representation; surface reconstruction, optimization, fairing, and compression; and mesh generation, parameterization, and editing. This year we received a total of 74 submissions. Because of the generally high quality of the submissions, the evaluation process has been very selective. After receiving all reviews and going through a short period of intensive discussion amongst the program committee members, we were able to accept 21 Full and 7 Short papers for SGP 2007. Unlike last year's symposium, all papers have received the same page limits in this printed proceedings, but Short papers have been given abbreviated presentation slots. In addition to the technical paper presentations the conference had three invited speakers: Pankaj Agarwal (Duke University), Tony DeRose (Pixar), and Craig Gotsman (Technion). For the second year, an Industry Panel was held to provide a platform for discussing the most challenging research problems in industrial applications. This year's panelists were Francois Chretien (Adobe), Emil Praun (Google), Michael Garland (NVIDIA), and Tony DeRose (Pixar).

This invaluable treatise belongs to the cultural heritage of mechanics. It is an encyclopaedia of the classic and analytic approaches of continuum mechanics and of many domains of natural science. The book is unique also because an impressive number of methods and approaches it displays have been worked out by the author himself. In particular, this implies a full consistency of notation, ideas and mathematical apparatus which results in a unified approach to a broad class of problems. The book is of great interest for engineers who will find a lot of analytical formulae for very different problems covering nearly all aspects of the elastic behavior of materials. In particular, it fills the gap between the well-developed numerical methods and sophisticated methods of elasticity theory. It is also intended for researchers and students taking their first steps in continuum mechanics as it offers a carefully written and logically substantiated basis of both linear and nonlinear continuum mechanics.

The book presents up-to-date and unifying formulations for treating dynamics of different types of mechanical systems with variable mass. The starting point is overview of the continuum mechanics relations of balance and jump for open systems from which extended Lagrange and Hamiltonian formulations are derived. Corresponding approaches are stated at the level of analytical mechanics with emphasis on systems with a position-dependent mass and at the level of structural mechanics. Special emphasis is laid upon axially moving structures like belts and chains, and on pipes with an axial flow of fluid. Constitutive relations in the dynamics of systems with variable mass are studied with particular reference to modeling of multi-component mixtures. The dynamics of machines with a variable mass are treated in detail and conservation laws and the stability of motion will be analyzed. Novel finite element formulations for open systems in coupled fluid and structural dynamics are presented.
