This concise reference work presents the fundamental principles of continuum mechanics. Emphasis is on mathematical clarity and an extended appendix provides the required background knowledge in linear algebra and tensor calculus. After having introduced the basic notions on general kinematics, balance equations, material objectivity and constitutive functions the book turns to a presentation of rational thermodynamics.

More DescriptionThis concise reference work presents the fundamental principles of continuum mechanics. Emphasis is on mathematical clarity and an extended appendix provides the required background knowledge in linear algebra and tensor calculus. After having introduced the basic notions on general kinematics, balance equations, material objectivity and constitutive functions the book turns to a presentation of rational thermodynamics. The book finishing with a section on extended thermodynamics. Many examples and exercises round off the material presented in the chapters. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate students in theoretical physics, applied mathematics and materials sciences.
