1. The Use of the Homogenization Method in the Analysis of Anisotropic Creep in Metal-matrix Composites -- 2. General Forms of Limit Surface: Application for Isotropic Materials -- 3.

Identification of Temperature Dependent Material Properties in Composite Plates Utilizing Experimental Vibration Data. 5. Unilateral Constraints and Multibody Dynamics.

This book presents various questions of continuum mechanical modeling in the context of experimental and numerical methods, in particular, multi-field problems that go beyond the standard models of continuum mechanics. In addition, it discusses dynamic problems and practical solutions in the field of numerical methods. It focuses on continuum mechanics, which is often overlooked in the traditional division of mechanics into statics, strength of materials and kinetics. The book is dedicated to Prof. Volker Ulbricht, who passed away on April 9, 2021.
