A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Alex Hansen earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1986. He was then Joliot–Curie fellow at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, followed by postdoctoral positions at the Universities of Cologne and Oslo. In 1992, Hansen became a CNRS scientist at the University of Rennes 1 in France. From 1994, he has been professor of physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. Hansen is member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Royal Norwegian Society of Science and Letters and the

Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences. He is Dr. honoris causa at the University of Rennes 1. Hansen chairs at present the Commission on Computational Physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, where he is also a vice president.
Per Christian Hemmer earned his doctorate from the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1959. He was then NORDITA fellow in Copenhagen, followed by a postdoctoral position at The Rockefeller Institute, New York. In 1959 he was appointed professor of theoretical physics at the University of Trondheim, now the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has been dean of the faculty for general sciences at the university. Hemmer has been secretary of the Commission on Statistical Physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, as well as a vice president of the union. He is member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Science and Letters, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and the Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences.

Srutarshi Pradhan completed his Ph.D. work at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India in 2004 and earned his doctorate from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India . He was then a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for 4 years (2004–2007) with a fellowship from the Norwegian Research Council. In 2008 he was appointed as a research scientist at SINTEF Petroleum Research, Trondheim, Norway. Pradhan has been promoted to senior scientist position at SINTEF Petroleum Research in 2012.

Quatrième de couverture :

The book contains different applications of the fiber bundle model. As example, the authors have included fatigue and creep in their discussion. The understanding of materials and their behavior under different conditions is undergoing a revolution due to the coming–of–age of computational atomistic modeling. Even though this technique allows for the precise knowledge of what every atom is doing in such materials, it is still necessary to understand the results in terms of models such as the fiber bundle model.
