By Pier Paolo Delsanto

This ebook comes as a result learn paintings built within the framework of 2 huge overseas initiatives: the eu technological know-how origin (ESF) supported software NATEMIS (Nonlinear Acoustic concepts for Micro-Scale harm Diagnostics) (of which PRofessor Delsanto used to be the eu coordinator, 2000-2004) and a Los Almos-based newtork (headed through Dr. P.A. Johnson, 1996-to date). the most subject of either courses and of this e-book is the outline of the phenomenology, conception and functions of nonclassical Nonlinearity (NCNL). in truth NCNL strategies were present in fresh years to be tremendous robust (up to greater than a thousand instances with recognize to the corresponding linear concepts) in quite a lot of purposes, together with Elasticity, fabric Characterization, Ultrasonics, Geophysics uo to upkeep and recovery of artefacts (paintings, stone constructions, etc.). The booklet is split into 3 parts: Part I -defines and describes the concept that of NCNL and its universality and experiences numerous fields to which it will probably applpy; half II - describes the phenomenology, idea, modelling and digital experiments (simulations); half III - discusses one of the most suitable experimental strategies and functions.

The example introduced in Sections 5 and 6 clearly shows the idea of complexity as it can be introduced in materials science, in addition to the usual approach, and it is hoped that it has been shown that interesting results can be obtained mixing all such ingredients such as nonlinear elasticity, nonclassical models, and complexity, which, with the help of powerful tools such as wave propagation theory (but one could also bring into this cake the bifurcation theory for further results), can give rise to a framework of great generality and within the reach of actual and possible results.

When we deal with nonclassical generalized continua, the material is no simpler not in the sense of the dictionary, nor in the sense of complexity, not even in Noll’s sense. Hence a body with some kind of internal structure is complex and if it is made of elastic material it is a nonclassical elastic body. Let me remark that nonlinearity is always assumed. More recently, the problem of complexity revealed its importance also in continuum mechanics and, in particular, in nonlinearly elastic structures.
