IUTAM Symposium on Discretization Methods for Evolving Discontinuities - Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held Lyon, France, 4 - 7 September, 2006 (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2007)

In recent years, discretization methods have been proposed which are more flexible and which have the potential of capturing (moving) discontinuities in a robust and efficient manner. This monograph assembles contributions of leading experts with the most recent developments in this rapidly evolving field. It provides the most comprehensive coverage of state-of-the art numerical methods for treating discontinuities in mechanics.
