Description for The Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continuous Media
Hardback. From the reviews: "The book is excellent, and covers a very broad area (usually treated as separate topics) from a unified perspective. [!] It will be very useful for both mathematicians and physicists." EMS Newsletter Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 518 pages, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHD; PHH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 28. Weight in Grams: 906.
This book presents the nonlinear theories of continuum thermomechanics. Through out 1 emphasize issues that are foundational in nature, and seek results common to materials of arbitrary symmetry. The central part of the book deals with thermoelastic bodies with heat conduction and viscosity, including the inviscid or ideal dissipation less bodies. A surprising variety of phenomena can be modeled within this frame work. Moreover, the main ideas can be transferred into more complicated theories. At present, the major challenge to the non linear thermoelasticity is posed by phase transformations with changes in symmetry. 1. W. Gibbs' immensely inftuen tiaI treatise ... Read more

Reviews for The Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continuous Media
From the reviews "The book is excellent, and covers a very broad area (usually treated as separate topics) from a unified perspective. The author has clearly tried to reduce the mathematical tools to a minimium so as to make the book accessible to readers from the physics community (a more mathematical treatment can be found in his papers). It ... Read more
