As the theories and methods have evolved over the years, the
mechanics of solid bodies has become unduly fragmented. Most books
focus on specific aspects, such as the theories of elasticity or
plasticity, the theories of shells, or the mechanics of materials.
While a narrow focus serves immediate purposes, much is achieved by
establishing the common foundations and providing a unified
perspective of the discipline as a whole. Mechanics of Solids and
Shells accomplishes these objectives. By emphasizing the underlying
assumptions and the approximations that lead to the mathematical
formulations, it offers a practical, unified presentation of the
foundations of the mechanics of solids, the behavior of deformable
bodies and thin shells, and the properties of finite elements. The
initial chapters present the fundamental kinematics, dynamics,
energetics, and behavior of materials that build the foundation for
all of the subsequent developments. These are presented in full
generality without the usual restrictions on the deformation. The
general principles of work and energy form the basis for the
consistent theories of shells and the approximations by finite
elements. The final chapter views the latter as a means of
approximation and builds a bridge between the mechanics of the
continuum and the discrete assembly. Expressly written for
engineers, Mechanics of Solids and Shells forms a reliable source
for the tools of analysis and approximation. Its constructive
presentation clearly reveals the origins, assumptions, and
limitations of the methods described and provides a firm, practical
basis for the use of those methods.
Few events over the past few decades have given rise to an amount
of debate and speculation concerning the state of the European
Union (EU) and the future of European integration as the economic
and financial crisis that began in 2007. In spite of substantial
media, policy-making and academic attention, the fundamental
questions of why and how the euro area (EA) has remained not only
intact but also expanded and integrated further during the crisis
require deeper theoretical investigation. One needs to understand
not only the economics but also the politics and institutions of
the crisis. A lack of such an understanding is the reason why a
number of observers, at least initially, had a hard time making
sense of policy-makers' decisions (and pace thereof), including why
the EA did not implode as some predicted. Economic theories provide
a certain perspective for why the crisis occurred and what economic
policies were and are needed to resolve it; however, they fail to
capture the deeper roots and management of the crisis. In order to
improve our understanding of a discussion that has oscillated
between fears of EA disintegration on the one hand and the concrete
advancement of integration during the crisis on the other, this
special collection brings together leading scholars of European
integration who apply key theoretical approaches - from liberal
intergovernmentalism and neofunctionalism to other prominent
theoretical accounts that have been applied to European integration
such as historical institutionalism, critical political economy,
normative theory, and a public opinion approach - to the economic
and financial crisis. The contributions seek to analyse, understand
and/or explain the events that occurred and the (re)actions to them
in order to draw conclusions concerning the applicability and
usefulness of their respective theoretical perspectives. This book
was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public
Policy.
