Micropolar Theory of Elasticity (Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics)

The monograph Micropolar Theory of Elasticity is devoted to the asymmetric theory of elasticity and thermoelasticity, aiming at researchers and postgraduate students in solid mechanics and applied mathematics, as well as mechanical engineers. It offers various new results including the basic field equations, general methods of integration of basic equations, formulations of problems, as well as solutions to particular problems. The presented general solutions cover those of Galerkin, Green-Lamé and Papkovitch-Neuber type, whereas the formulations include the displacement-rotation problems as well as pure stress problems of asymmetric elastodynamics. Solutions to stationary 3D and 2D problems for a half-space, and singular solutions to 3D and 2D asymmetric elastodynamics and the thermoelasto-dynamics problems for an infinite space are given.
