About this title

Synopsis

HardCover Pub Date: November 2007 Pages: 292 Language: English Publisher: Higher Education Press This book gives the basic notions of differential geometry. such as the metric tensor. the Riemann curvature tensor. the fundamental forms of a surface. covariant derivatives. and the fundamental theorem of surface theory in a self-contained and accessible manner. Although the field is often considered a classical one. it has recently been rejuvenated. thanks to the manifold applications where it plays an essential role. The book presents some important applications to shells. such as the theory of linearly and nonlinearly elastic shells. the implementation of numerical methods for shells. and mesh generation in finite element methods. This volume will be very useful to graduate students and researchers in pure and applied mathematics . Contents: PrefacePhilippe G. Ciarlet: An In...
