Configurational mechanics : proceedings of the Configurational Mechanics Symposium : held within the 5th EUROMECH Solid Mechanics Conference : 17-22 August, 2003, Thessaloniki, Greece /

This book comprises papers that were presented at the Symposium on Configurational Mechanics, during the 5th EUROMECH Soil Mechanics Conference in Thessaloniki in August 2003. Configurational (or material) mechanics -in contrast to Newtonian mechanics in Euclidean space- concerns any sort of change...
