Lecture Notes in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
This Lecture Notes series is published jointly by the
Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik
(GAMM: International Association of Applied Mathematics
and Mechanics) and by Springer Verlag.
The editors-in-chief are Alexander Mielke (WIAS Berlin)
and Bob Svendsen (RWTH Aachen)
The Lecture Notes in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics,
a new addition to the successful Springer
Lecture Notes series, are intended for an interdisciplinary
readership in the fields of applied mathematics
and mechanics. Topics of particular interest include the
focus areas of the GAMM:
n foundations of mechanics, thermodynamics, material
theory and modeling
n multibody dynamics, structural mechanics, nonlinear
oscillations
n solid mechanics, biomechanics, damage, fracture
n multiscale systems and homogenization, hybrid models
n fluid mechanics, gas dynamics, flow control
n laminar flows and transition, turbulence and reactive
flows, interface flows
n acoustics, linear waves, nonlinear waves
n applied analysis, mathematical modeling
n calculus of variations, variational principles
n applied operator theory, evolutionary equations
n applied stochastics, systems with uncertainty
n dynamical systems, control theory, optimization
n applied and numerical linear algebra
n analysis and numerics of ordinary and partial differential
equations
n scientific computing, image processing
Each contribution to the series should be accessible to
researchers in mathematics and mechanics. In order to
reach the widest audience possible, contributions should
be written in English. The aim of the series is to provide
a pool of introductory texts for modern developments in
applied mathematics and mechanics, which in the long
run will advance the cross-fertilization between the fields.
The Lecture Notes are intended for advanced master
students and PhD students in both mechanics and
mathematics. To facilitate this, contributions should be
as self-contained as possible and focused on a few central
themes. The goal of each lecture notes should be on
communicating modern ideas and principles rather than
on completeness or detailed proofs. Like in a lecture
course, a well-chosen example is preferable to an abstract
framework that can not be comprehended without deeper
involvement.
The typical length of each contribution should be between
100 and 300 pages. If the lecture notes are derived the
proceedings of a summer school with several contributors,
a unified, consistent presentation and style are required
(e.g., common notation). In exceptional cases, doctoral
theses may be accepted, if they fulfill the above-mentioned
criteria.
Potential contributors should contact the appropriate
editor with a title, table of contents, and a sample chapter.
Full manuscripts accepted by the editors will then be
peer-reviewed.
