Riassunto

Foundations and Applications of Mechanics, Volume I: Continuum Mechanics explores topics that have come into prominence during the latter half of the twentieth century, such as material frame-indifference, the implications of the second law of thermodynamics, and material symmetry. Jog shows how the classical theories of fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and rigid-body dynamics follow from the general continuum equations. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, the book provides examples that explore the link between mathematics and physical reality without losing mathematical rigor.
