Customer Reviews of Numerical Computation of Stress Waves in Solids

A book for both, mathematicians and physicists (engineers)
Stress waves in solids are by now widely investigated
via numerical modeling. As the pertinent equations are
hyperbolic, it is evident that many of the concepts
and methods of computational fluid dynamics come into
play here as well. Consequently, many of items playing
a central role in fluid dynamics are also central in
this monograph: schemes based upon Riemann solvers,
various finite difference schemes, methods of
characteristics in 1D and 2D, TDV schemes, and domain

decomposition. Still, the many aspects where stress
wave modeling differs from CFD are clearly detailed:
the existence of single points and associated
challenges to numerics, the existence of various
constitutive relations, which may render different
numerical schemes most useful, etc. Those points are
amply discussed. --- Overall, the book is written in
such a way as to enable the engineer to grasp
mathematical concepts properly and, in turn, the
mathematician to grasp the physics at hand.
