1. Background This textbook is an introduction to and exploration of a number of core topics in the ?eld of applied mechanics. Mechanics, in both its theoretical and applied contexts, is, like all scienti?c endeavors, a human construct. It re?ects the personalities, thoughts, errors, and successes of its creators. We therefore provide some personal information about each of these individuals when their names arise for the ?rst time in this book. This should enable the reader to piece together a cultural-historical picture of the ?eld s origins and development. This does not mean that we are...

The papers in this volume present rules for mechanical models in a general systematic way, always in combination with small and large examples, many from industry, illustrating the most important features of modeling. The best way to reach a good solution is discussed. The papers address researchers and engineers from academia and from industry, doctoral students and postdocs, working in the fields of mechanical, civil and electrical engineering as well as in fields like applied physics or applied mathematics.

Von Mechanik soll die Rede sein - oder zumindest einem Teilgebiet davon. Und zwar von der Mechanik, die durch GALILE 1638 und NEWTON 1687 zum Durch bruch als exakte Natur-Wi33en-schaJt, von EULER 1750/75 zur Blute und von LAGRANGE 1788 und HAMILTON 1835 zur Vollendung gefuhrt wurde - um mit einigen Namen einen Rahmen zu stecken. Dass hierbei die Mechanik eine der ersten Naturwissenschaften war, ihr zumindest "eine Schrittmacherrolle zugefallen ist"l, macht das Thema reizvoll, ist aber naturlich kein ausreichender Grund, zu den vorhandenen Abhandlungen eine weitere hinzuzufugen. Vielmehr...
