This book presents an in-depth continuum mechanics analysis of the deformation due to self-gravitation in terrestrial objects, such as the inner planets, rocky moons and asteroids. Following a brief history of the problem, modern continuum mechanics tools are presented in order to derive the underlying field equations, both for solid and fluid material models. Various numerical solution techniques are discussed, such as Runge-Kutta integration, series expansion, finite differences, and (adaptive) FE analysis. Analytical solutions for selected special cases, which are worked out in detail,...

Fuhlen, Wollen und Handeln werden im Allgemeinen als Zustande oder Aktivitaten verstanden, die einen individuellen Trager haben. Die Analyse dieser Phanomene im Rahmen der Moralpsychologie wie auch der "philosophy of mind" war dementsprechend bis in die jungere Vergangenheit hinein primar auf das Individuum fokussiert. In der neueren Diskussion gibt es jedoch verschiedene Ansatze, die unsere Rede vom geteilten Fuhlen ("]shared emotions"), gemeinsamen Wollen (in Form "kollektiver Intentionalitat") sowie vom gemeinschaftlichen Handeln in ihrer grundlegenden Bedeutung betrachten und mit...

The Handbook of Human Motion is a large cross-disciplinary reference work which covers the many interlinked facets of the science and technology of human motion and its measurement. Individual chapters cover fundamental principles and technological developments, the state-of-the-art and consider applications across four broad and interconnected fields; medicine, sport, forensics and animation. The huge strides in technological advancement made over the past century make it possible to measure motion with unprecedented precision, but also lead to new challenges. This work introduces...
