Synopsis

This volume highlights contributions of women mathematicians in the study of complex materials and includes both original research papers and reviews. The featured topics and methods draw on the fields of Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations, Functional Analysis, Differential Geometry and Topology, as well as Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Modelling. Areas of applications include foams, fluid-solid interactions, liquid crystals, shape-memory alloys, magnetic suspensions, failure in solids, plasticity, viscoelasticity, homogenization, crystallization, grain growth, and phase-field models.

About this title

About the Author

Malena I. Español is an applied mathematician specializing in Numerical Analysis and Numerical Linear Algebra.  Her research involves developing, analyzing, and applying mathematical models and numerical methods to problems arising in materials science and image processing.  She is a faculty member in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Arizona State University, USA. 

Marta Lewicka is a mathematician specializing in Analysis and PDEs. She has contributed results in the theory of nonlinear elasticity, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, fluid dynamics, calculus of variations, potential theory and differential games. She is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and she holds Professor’s scientific title awarded by the President of the Republic of Poland. She works at the University of Pittsburgh, USA.

Lucia Scardia is a mathematician working in the calculus of variations and partial differential equations with applications in materials science. In particular, her interests include homogenization (deterministic and stochastic), harmonic analysis, non-local aggregation problems, dislocation theory, plasticity, and fracture and damage. She is an Associate Professor at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK.

Anja Schlömerkemper is a professor of mathematics specializing in Mathematical Analysis with applications to Materials Science and Physics. She studies elastic and magnetic materials by involving methods from calculus of variations, PDEs and homogenization theory. She is the president of the International Society for the Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics and she leads the chair of Mathematics in the Sciences at the University of Würzburg, Germany.
