By Professor I-Shih Liu (auth.)
This concise textbook develops step-by-step the basic rules of continuum mechanics. Emphasis is on mathematical readability, and a longer appendix offers the mandatory historical past wisdom in linear algebra and tensor calculus. After introducing the elemental notions approximately common kinematics, stability equations, fabric objectivity and constitutive features, the publication turns to the presentation of rational thermodynamics through stressing the position of Lagrange multipliers in deriving constitutive funcitions from the underlying entropy precept. a short lecture on prolonged thermodynamics closes the ebook. Many examples and routines around off the cloth awarded within the chapters. The ebook addresses essentially complex undergraduate scholars in theoretical physics, utilized arithmetic and fabrics sciences.
