Nonlinear Problems in Continuum Mechanics.

Abstract

The main areas of mathematical study included: nonlinear eigenvalue problems for ordinary and partial differential equations, bifurcation theory of stationary and time dependent processes, iterative methods for nonlinear equilibrium problems, numerical methods for two point boundary value problems, numerical methods for nonlinear diffusive systems. Some of the physical problems treated concerned: buckling of plates and shells, spontaneous combustion, tubular, batch and pellet chemical reactors, biochemical diffusion processes, laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows and nuclear reactors.
