This interdisciplinary work on condensed matter physics, the
continuum mechanics of novel materials, and partial differential
equations, discusses the mathematical theory of elasticity and
hydrodynamics of quasicrystals, as well as its applications. By
establishing new partial differential equations of higher order and
their solutions under complicated boundary value and initial value
conditions, the theories developed here dramatically simplify the
solution of complex elasticity problems. Comprehensive and detailed
mathematical derivations guide readers through the work. By
combining theoretical analysis and experimental data, mathematical
studies and practical applications, readers will gain a systematic,
comprehensive and in-depth understanding of condensed matter
physics, new continuum mechanics and applied mathematics. This new
edition covers the latest developments in quasicrystal studies. In
particular, it pays special attention to the hydrodynamics,
soft-matter quasicrystals, and the Poisson bracket method and its
application in deriving hydrodynamic equations. These new sections
make the book an even more useful and comprehensive reference guide
for researchers working in Condensed Matter Physics, Chemistry and
Materials Science.

This book highlights the mathematical models and solutions of the
generalized dynamics of soft-matter quasicrystals (SMQ) and
introduces possible applications of the theory and methods. Based
on the theory of quasiperiodic symmetry and symmetry breaking, the
book treats the dynamics of individual quasicrystal systems by
reducing them to nonlinear partial differential equations and then
provides methods for solving the initial-boundary value problems in
these equations. The solutions obtained demonstrate the
distribution, deformation and motion of SMQ and determine the
stress, velocity and displacement fields. The interactions between
phonons, phasons and fluid phonons are discussed in some
fundamental materials samples. The reader benefits from a detailed
comparison of the mathematical solutions for both solid and
soft-matter quasicrystals, gaining a deeper understanding of the
universal properties of SMQ. The second edition covers the latest
research progress on quasicrystals in topics such as thermodynamic
stability, three-dimensional problems and solutions, rupture
theory, and the photonic band-gap and its applications. These novel
chapters make the book an even more useful and comprehensive
reference guide for researchers in condensed matter physics,
chemistry and materials sciences.

This book gives a detailed description on mathematical theory of
elasticity and generalized dynamics of solid quasicrystals and its
applications.The Chinese edition of the book Mathematical Theory of
Elasticity of Quasicrystals and Its Applications was published by
the Beijing Institute of Technology Press in 1999, written by Prof
Tian-You Fan. In this English edition of the book, the
phonon-phason dynamics, defect dynamics and hydrodynamics of solid
quasicrystals are included, so the scope of the book is beyond
elasticity. Hence, the title in this edition is changed to
Mathematical Theory of Elasticity and Generalized Dynamics of
Quasicrystals and Its Applications. This book is the first and only
monograph in the scope of quasicrystals since first published in
1999 in China and worldwide. In this edition, the two-dimensional
quasicrystals of second kind, soft-matter quasicrystals and
photonic bade-gap and application of photonic quasicrystals are
added.This book combines the mechanical and physical behavior of
quasicrystals and mathematical physics, which may help graduate
students and researchers in the fields of new materials, condensed
matter physics, applied mathematics and engineering science.
