This book presents a collection of contributions on the advanced mechanics of materials and mechanics of structures approaches, written in honor of Professor Kienzler. It covers various topics related to constitutive models for advanced materials, recent developments in mechanics of configuration forces, as well as new approaches to the efficient modeling and analysis of engineering structures.

1 advanced approaches of mechanics of materials.- 2 The mechanics of structures of materials.- 3 constitutive models for advanced materials.- 4 The new approaches to the efficient modelling.
