Liebe Mutti is a true story of Jerzy Pindera, a Polish Catholic reserve officer in Sachsenhausen, one of the first concentration camps built to hold political prisoners, located just outside Berlin. This memoir is an insightful observation of the complexities of concentration camp life and society. Pindera, who arrived at the camp condemned to being worked to death, gradually rose to a position of prominence in the camp structure. During his five years of incarceration at Sachsenhausen, Pindera wrote powerfully about his experiences in a series of "fragments," each of which recalled specific aspects and events of his internment. Using those "fragments," as well as the transcription of extensive interviews, and letters he wrote to his mother while imprisoned, editor Lynne Taylor has woven together a compelling story of life in Sachsenhausen.
Micromechanics of heterogeneous media plays an important role in the development of new generations of advanced material systems, enabling efficient analyses of composite materials with complex geometries, circumventing the traditional trial-and-error approach, producing substantial cost savings. The unit cell problem to the analysis of periodic heterogeneous materials is explored in this book, with emphasis on the generalized finite-volume direct averaging micromechanics (FVDAM) theory. Comparison of predictions by the generalized theory with its predecessor, analytical and finite element results illustrates substantial improvement in the satisfaction of interfacial continuity conditions at adjacent subvolume faces of the discretized unit cell microstructure, producing smoother stress distributions and good interfacial conformability. This improvement is particularly important in the finite-deformation domain wherein large differences in adjacent subvolume face rotations may lead to the loss of mesh integrity. The presentation is accessible to engineers and scientists involved in the development of finite-volume techniques, with particular interest in advanced material systems.
