Particle and continuum aspects of mesomechanics (ISTE, 2007)
Includes bibliographical references and index
This title brings together a variety of papers presented at the 9th annual Meso meeting in 2007. The topics selected for Meso 2007 are designed to illustrate the relation of thresholds to multiscaling:. Flow through capillary tubes in contrast to pipes. Laminar and turbulent flow transition. Heat convection of thin wires in contrast to cylinders. Electrical conductance of macro- and nano-circuits. Rubbery and glassy polymers. Single- and poly-crystal behavior. Strength of wires and round cylindrical bars. Uni-axial and multi-axial material: linear and non-linear response. Thin
