Book SynopsisUnlike many other texts on differential geometry, this textbook also offers interesting applications to geometric mechanics and general relativity.The first part is a concise and self-contained introduction to the basics of manifolds, differential forms, metrics and curvature. The second part studies applications to mechanics and relativity including the proofs of the Hawking and Penrose singularity theorems. It can be independently used for one-semester courses in either of these subjects.The main ideas are illustrated and further developed by numerous examples and over 300 exercises. Detailed solutions are provided for many of these exercises, making An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry ideal for self-study.Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:“The aim of the textbook is twofold. First, it is a concise and self-contained quick introduction to the basics of differential geometry, including differential forms, followed by the main ideas of Riemannian geometry. Second, the last two chapters are devoted to some interesting applications to geometric mechanics and relativity. … the book is well written and also very readable. I warmly recommend it to specialists in mathematics, physics and engineering, especially to Ph.D. students.” (Miroslaw Doupovec, zbMATH 1306.53001, 2015)Table of ContentsDifferentiable Manifolds.- Differential Forms.- Riemannian Manifolds.- Curvature.- Geometric Mechanics.- Relativity.

Book SynopsisReflecting his major contributions to the field, Jean Lemaitre’s "Engineering Damage Mechanics" presents simplified and advanced methods organized within a unified framework for designers of any mechanical component. Explains how to apply continuous damage mechanics to failures of mechanical and civil engineering components in ductile, creep, fatigue and brittle conditions. Incorporates many basic examples, while emphasizing key practical considerations such as material parameter identification, and provides perspective on the advantage and disadvantages of various approaches.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Many new ideas are presented and discussed. So the book can be recommended to all engineers and students of engineering concerned with lifetime prediction and with the failure resistant design of structures, components and processes … . The book is an excellent comprehensive guide to Damage Mechanics." (H. Altenbach, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 85 (11), 2005) Table of ContentsBackground on Continuum Damage Mechanics.- Numerical Analysis of Damage.- Ductile Failures.- Low Cycle Fatigue.- Creep, Creep-Fatigue, and Dynamic Failures.- High Cycle Fatigue.- Failure of Brittle and Quasi-Brittle Materials.
