This book primarily introduces innovative multi-physical plastic modeling for geomaterials in unsteady environments and advanced numerical methods for elastoplastic models, topics not systematically covered in other literature. The constitutive models in the form of stress-strain-environment will be interesting to students and researchers in geotechnical engineering and rock and soil mechanics. The book provides a thorough exploration of modeling techniques and algorithmic flowcharts, facilitating a deeper understanding of both theoretical models and numerical methods. It also guides...

Urban Surface Thermal Environments: A Metropolitan Area Perspective presents a comprehensive exploration of urban heat dynamics through the perspectives of climate change, urbanization, green infrastructure, and two- and three-dimensional urban morphology. It analyzes the key drivers of surface urban heat islands (SUHI), reveals spatial and temporal patterns of warming, assesses population heat risks, and proposes practical strategies to mitigate thermal impacts. Incorporating spatial analysis, multi-source data integration, and urban-scale simulation,...

This book, the first in a three-volume set, explains general relativity using the mathematical tool of differential geometry. The book consists of ten chapters, the first five of which introduce differential geometry, which is widely applicable even outside the field of relativity. Chapter 6 analyzes special relativity using geometric language. In turn, the last four chapters introduce readers to the fundamentals of general relativity. Intended for beginners, this volume includes numerous exercises and worked-out example in each chapter to facilitate the learning experience. Chiefly...
