Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continuous Media

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...
