Transcendental Representations with Applications to Solids and Fluids

Unifying applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, this book looks at how generalized functions are used in physics and engineering applications. It provides a comprehensive overview of numerous mathematical models in generalized functions with many applications to solids and fluids that are particularly relevant in aerospace and mechanical engineering. The author, one of Europe "s leading applied mathematicians, presents the laws of physics to formulate problems, mathematical methods to solve them, and examples of the interpretation of results.
