Advanced Computational Dynamics of Particles, Materials, and Structures: A Unified Approach breaks new ground with its in-depth, detailed coverage of modern computational mechanics in particle and continuum dynamics. Kumar Tamma provides a unique blend of classical and innovative theoretical and computational approaches that cover both particle dynamics and flexible continuum structural dynamics applications. He covers both traditional methods and new developments & perspectives in both time and space discretization, encompassing classical Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics as well as new and alternate contemporary approaches and their equivalences to address various problems in engineering sciences and physics. The completeness and depth of coverage makes Advanced Computational Dynamics of Particles, Materials, and Structures an invaluable reference for both engineers and researchers working in the field of computational mechanics.

Dr. Kumar K. Tamma is Professor in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Technology, at the University of Minnesota. He is also Director of the Laboratory for Multi-scale Physics, Mechanics, Materials and Modeling.He has published over 170 research papers in leading archival journals in the field, and over 225 in refereed conference proceedings/book chapters, and national/international conference abstracts. His primary areas of research include computational mechanics with emphasis on multi-scale/multi-physics and fluid-thermal-structural interactions; structural dynamics and contact-impact-penetration; computational aspects of microscale/nanoscale heat transfer; composites and manufacturing processes and solidification and computational development of finite element technology and time dependent algorithms.

Dr. Jason Har is a Research Associate working with Professor Tamma at the University of Minnesota. He received his Ph.D from Georgia Tech. His areas of research are finite element developments, computational structural dynamics and mechanics.
