Aims and Scope
Mechanics and mathematics have plementary partners since Newton’s
time, and the history of science shows much evidence of the beneficial influence of
these disciplines on each other. The discipline of mechanics, for this series, includes
relevant physical and biological phenomena such as: ic, thermal,
quantum effects, biomechanics, nanomechanics, multiscale modeling, dynamical
systems, optimization and control, putational methods.
Driven by increasingly elaborate modern technological applications, the symbiotic
relationship between mathematics and mechanics is continually growing. The
increasingly large number of specialist journals has generated plementarity gap
between the partners, and this gap continues to widen. Advances in Mechanics and
Mathematics is a series dedicated to the publication of the latest developments
in the interaction between mechanics and mathematics and intends to bridge the gap
by providing interdisciplinary publications in the form of monographs, graduate
texts, edited volumes, and a special annual book consisting of invited survey articles.
