Integral Methods In Science And Engineering

This book will appeal to applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, theoretical physicists, and graduate students researching in the areas of ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, numerical analysis, mechanics of solids, fluid mechanics and mathematical physics.

"The present book...focuses on the solution of mathematical models from various physical domains, using integral methods in conjunction with approximation schemes. Actually, its aim is to show...research work in which integration, in one form or another, is the main investigative tool.

A lot of problems are solved in areas such as solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermoelasticity, plates and shells, liquid crystals, diffusion and diffraction theory, Hamiltonian systems, resonance, nonlinear waves, plasma, flight dynamics and structural networks.... Generally, this book provides new results in the study of various physical and mechanical models and offers illustrations of efficient methods with numerical results and analytical methods. It can be useful to researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering and theoretical physicists, interested in current research in ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations and numerical analysis."
