This book investigates collisions occurring in the motion of
solids, in the motion of fluids but also in the motion of
pedestrians in crowds. The duration of these presented collisions
is short compared to the whole duration of the motion: they are
assumed instantaneous. The innovative concept demonstrated in this
book is that a system made of two solids, is deformable because
their relative position changes. The definition of the velocities
of deformation of the system introduced in the classical
developments of mechanics, the principle of the virtual work and
the laws of thermodynamics, allows a large range of applications
such as crowd motions, debris flow motions, and shape memory alloys
motions. The set of the applications is even larger: social
sciences and mechanics are unified to predict the motion of crowds
with application to transport management and to evacuation of
theaters management.
