作為軟物質(zhì)物理學(xué)的一個重要分支,近年來軟物質(zhì)力學(xué)的研究取得了重大的發(fā)展。本書即是從力學(xué)的角度系統(tǒng)總結(jié)了軟物質(zhì)物理學(xué)的最新進(jìn)展,深入介紹了軟物質(zhì)力學(xué)研究的新方法,包括多尺度膠體計(jì)算力學(xué)、熵彈性理論、無網(wǎng)格模擬液晶聚合物、DNA模擬計(jì)算等,并從跨學(xué)科的角度出發(fā),介紹了當(dāng)前軟物質(zhì)力學(xué)研究領(lǐng)域的一些前沿課題。
本書的主編是美國加州大學(xué)伯克利分校的李少凡教授和南非科學(xué)院院士、開普半島科技大學(xué)的孫博華教授。
