This text shows how many complex behaviors of molecules can result from a few simple physical processes. A central theme is the idea that simplistic models can give surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world. Written in a clear and student-friendly s…

Aimed at senior undergraduates and graduate students in science and biomedical engineering, this text explores the architecture of a cell's envelope and internal scaffolding, and the properties of its soft components. The book first discusses the properties of individual flexibl…
A textbook for a one-semester course for senior undergraduates and beginning graduates with an interest in biophysics. Appendices summarize background material in physics and in biology for students coming from the other direction. The focus is on equilibrium properties of cells…
In this volume, five papers are collected that give a good sample of the problems and the results characterizing some recent trends and advances in this theory. Some of them are devoted to the improvement of a general abstract knowledge of the behavior of elastic bodies, while t…
This book is based on lecture notes of the late Professor de Veubeke. The subject is presented at a level suitable for graduate students in engineering, physics, or mathematics. Some exposure to linear algebra, complex analysis, variational calculus, or basic continuum mechanics…
Self contained, this book presents a thorough introduction to the complementary notions of physical forces and material (or configurational) forces. All the required elements of continuum mechanics, deformation theory and differential geometry are also covered. This book will be…
