Honors Classical Mechanics
A modern introduction to classical mechanics that allows students to develop confidence, a broad mathematical tool kit, and a correct physical intuition while working in a collaborative and supportive environment Undergraduate physics students must often "unlearn" aspects of classical mechanics as they progress through college and graduate school. This book, by introducing classical mechanics as the limiting case in special relativity of an infinite speed of light, eliminates the need for such backtracking. Starting with time/space, and energy/momentum, the book allows students to solve problems addressing modern topics of research in astronomy, cosmology, and particle physics. The text then derives Newtonian mechanics, and covers the full syllabus of a conventional introductory course, but at a deeper level of mathematical sophistication for topics such as rigid body and planetary motion. Extensive mathematical appendixes are integrated into the text, as are curated problems sets in each chapter. The book is intended as a long-overdue revision of both the curriculum and pedagogy of the traditional introductory honors classical mechanics course.Begins with special relativity as a "leveler" that puts all students at the same starting pointRelies on cooperative learning rather than a competitive "weed-out" mentalityEmphasizes developing mathematical tools as a precise and powerful language in the context of developing a correct intuition and better understanding of physical phenomenaEnables a more rapid path through the conventional undergraduate physics curriculum, preparing students for advanced courses in science and engineering

Mechanics of Ferromagnetoelastic Materials and Structures
This book presents macroscopic theories of magnetoelastic interactions in solids, mainly for saturated ferromagnetoelastic materials. In these materials, the distributed magnetic moments are aligned and have a fixed magnitude. A disturbance of the magnetic moments propagates as what is called spin waves. In elastic ferromagnets, acoustic waves may interact with spin waves, which is referred to as phonon-magnon interaction. Continuum modeling of magnetoelastic interactions in saturated ferromagnets has a few unique and interesting features. In addition to the magnetic body force and couple on the magnetic moments, the short-range interaction among neighboring magnetic moments may be described by distributed surface couples. This leads to a magnetization gradient theory. The angular momenta associated with the magnetic moments need to be considered for spin waves. In addition, the saturation condition on the magnetization vector functions as a constraint mathematically, which has important implications in the constitutive relations of these materials.The book discusses the relatively simple situation of rigid ferromagnets first and then proceeds to elastic ferromagnets. Thermal and dissipative effects as well as interactions with electromagnetic waves are also considered. Structural problems of elastic plates and beams with magnetoelastic interactions are treated as well.

Finite Element Analysis Course
The Finite Element Analysis Course lays out the history, basic principles, and theory of finite element analysis. Students will be introduced to real-world applications, including, but not limited to, analysis of thin shells, fracture mechanics, reinforced beams and columns, stress analysis, earthquake analysis of structures, buckling, seepage under a dam, a medical example, registration of MRI and PET scans, and a finite element analysis of the Golden Gate Bridge. These examples come from James Mandel's work experiences, research, and technical publications he has authored along with persons instrumental in the development of the finite element method.
Approximate Models of Mechanics of Composites
Approximate Models of Mechanics of Composites: An Asymptotic Approach is an essential guide to constructing asymptotic models and mathematical methods to correctly identify the mechanical behavior of composites. It provides methodology for predicting and evaluating composite behavior in various structures, leading to accurate mathematical and physical assessments. The book estimates the error of approximations through comparing asymptotic solutions with the results of numerical and analytical solutions to gain a holistic view of the data. The authors have developed asymptotic models based on mathematical and physical rigorous approaches, which include three-phase models of fibrous composites, a modernized three-phase composite model with cylindrical inclusions, and models of two-dimensional composites of hexagonal structure. Also covered are two-phase models of composites related to the Maxwell formula and a percolation transition model for elastic problems based on the self-consistency method and Pad矇 approximations. By obtaining analytical expressions to effectively characterize composite materials, their physical and geometric parameters can be accurately assessed. This book suits engineers and students working in material science, mechanical engineering, physics, and mathematics, as well as composite materials in industries such as construction, transport, aerospace, and chemical engineering.

Computational Techniques of Rotor Dynamics with the Finite Element Method
Rotor dynamics is both a classical and a modern branch of engineering science.However, analyzing the rotational behavior of flexible bodies, especially those with irregular shapes like propellers and blades, requires more modern tools such as finite elements, which is what this book focuses on.
Thermal Metamaterials
This book gives a comprehensive review on thermal metamaterials, an emerging type of artificial structures designed for the control of heat transfer. To date, many exciting findings have been made in this field, including some novel understandings about the heat transfer processes (reciprocity, symmetry, topological properties, etc.), as well as promising new possibilities to control heat (cloaking, rectification, collection, etc.). The text is organized into three segments: steady-state, time-harmonic, and transient heat transfer. In Part I, the transformation theory and effective medium method are introduced with their applications on the manipulation of steady-state heat transfer, covering early studies in this field. In Part II, the recently developed thermal scattering theory and temporal modulation method are discussed in the context of controlling time-harmonic heat transfer. In Part III, the effective Hamiltonian method is presented to study the decaying thermal modes in transient heat transfer. We include detailed derivations and examples for each theory or method. The book ends with an outlook chapter on open problems and potential possibilities in this promising field.
Mechanics of Solids
This book is intended to serve as an undergraduate textbook on mechanics of solids for the engineering students. It provides conceptually sound and rigorous foundation of three-dimensional concepts of stress, strain, constitutive relations, yield criteria, brittle fracture and fatigue failure; and energy-related theorems. Subsequently, this theory is applied rigorously to the elastic and elastic-plastic analyses of bars under axial force, twisting moment, bending moment, general loading and buckling of columns. This textbook also covers visco-elastic response of bars, standard tension and compression tests. The book includes pedagogical features like worked out examples, chapter reviews and end-of-chapter exercises to aid in self-learning of the students. This book will be highly useful for the undergraduate engineering students as a textbook and reference book for postgraduate students/researchers.
