Continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are foundational theories of many fields of technological know-how and engineering. This publication offers a clean standpoint on those primary themes, connecting micro- and nanoscopic theories and emphasizing themes correct to realizing solid-state thermo-mechanical habit. supplying transparent, in-depth insurance, the ebook supplies a self-contained remedy of issues at once with regards to nonlinear fabrics modeling. It starts off with vectors and tensors, finite deformation kinematics, the basic stability and conservation legislation, and classical thermodynamics. It then discusses the foundations of constitutive idea and examples of constitutive versions, offers a foundational therapy of power ideas and balance conception, and concludes with instance closed-form strategies and the necessities of finite parts. including its significant other booklet, Modeling fabrics, (Cambridge college Press, 2011), this paintings provides the basics of multiscale fabrics modeling for graduate scholars and researchers in physics, fabrics technology, chemistry and engineering.
