Overview

This fascinating book is a treatise on real space-age materials. It is a mathematical treatment of a novel concept in material science that characterizes the properties of dynamic materials—that is, material substances whose properties are variable in space and time. Unlike conventional composites that are often found in nature, dynamic materials are mostly the products of modern technology developed to maintain the most effective control over dynamic processes.

Reviews

From the reviews: The author introduces the concept of dynamic or time-dependent materials in mechanical and electromagnetic context in order to study varying environmental conditions and changing properties, structures or compositions of materials both in space and time. ! In total, the monograph seems to be a pioneering step in establishing the mathematical theory of dynamic materials, and without chapter problems, computer programs and design projects, which is desirable for normal classroom use, it may basically be of interest to researchers and engineers. (M. Cengiz Dokmeci, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1125 (2), 2008) Lurie proposes to consider in a dynamical framework materials that present inhomogeneties in both space and time. ! an introduction to a field of continuum physics that may find unexpected developments in some of the newly designed materials that involve small sizes and short wavelength dynamical phenomena. ! It is highly recommended to all those wondering what is new in the field. It should also open new horizons to most of its readers. (Gerard A. Maugin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 b)
