The book is devoted to the 70th birthday of Prof. Sergey M. Aizikovich, which will celebrated on August 2nd 2021. His scientific interests are related to the following topics: Mechanics of contact interactions, Functionally graded materials, Mechanics of fracture, Integral equations of mathematical physics, Inverse problems of the theory of elasticity, and Applications of elasticity to biological and medical problems of mechanics of materials. The papers, collected in the book, are contributions of authors from 10 countries.

This book presents the theoretical and experimental foundations of quasi-static deformation of elastoplastic and viscoplastic materials and structural elements made of them. Experimental studies of deformation and fracture of materials under complex loading under impulse influences are described and discussed. A short introduction of theoretical and numerical methods for studying the stress–strain state of elastoplastic structural elements under dynamic, impulse loading and their interaction with other media is given.

This book presents fundamental theoretical and experimental studies of well-known scientists in solid mechanics, hydromechanics, aeromechanics, biomechanics, etc. These studies relate to contact and mixed problems of the theory of elasticity and viscoelasticity, tribology, fracture mechanics, electroelasticity, magnetoelasticity, as well as to the theory of anisotropic shells and plates and are aimed at application in various areas of engineering practice. The book is devoted to the 110th birthday of academician N.Kh. Arutunyan.

In this book, well-known scientists discuss modern aspects of generalized continua, in order to better understand modern materials and advanced structures. They possess complicated internal structure, and it requires the development of new approaches to model such structures and new effects caused by it. This book combines fundamental contributions in honor of Victor Eremeyev and his 60th birthday.

This book gives an insight into the current developments in the field of continuum mechanics. Twenty-five researchers present new theoretical concepts, e.g., better inclusion of the microstructure in the models describing material behavior. At the same time, there are also more applications for the theories in engineering practice. In addition to new theoretical approaches in continuum mechanics and applications, the book puts an emphasis on discussing multi-physics problems.

The text discusses synthesis, processing, design, simulation and characterization of biomaterials for biomedical applications. It synergizes exploration related to various properties and functionalities in the biomedical field through extensive theoretical and experimental modeling. It further presents advanced integrated design and nonlinear simulation problems occurring in the biomedical engineering field. It will serve as an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, ergonomics, and human factors. The book: Employs a problem-solution approach, where, in each chapter, a specific biomedical engineering problem is raised and its numerical, and experimental solutions are presented Covers recent developments in biomaterials such as OPMF/KGG bio composites, PEEK-based biomaterials, PF/KGG biocomposites, oil palm mesocarp Fibre/KGG biocomposites, and polymeric resorbable materials for orthopedic, dentistry and shoulder arthroplasty applications Discusses mechanical performance and corrosive analysis of biomaterials for biomedical applications in detail Presents advanced integrated design and nonlinear simulation problems occurring in the biomedical engineering field Presents biodegradable polymers for various biomedical applications over the last decade owing to their non-corrosion in the body, biocompatibility and superior strength in growing state Synergizes exploration related to the various properties and functionalities in the biomedical field through extensive theoretical and experimental modeling

This book presents a collection of articles reporting the current challenges in solid and fracture mechanics. The book is devoted to the 90th birthday of academician Nikita F. Morozov—a well-known specialist in the field of solid and fracture mechanics.
