Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

This is the 2nd edition of Truesdell and Noll's classic treatise on the mechanics of continua. The authors, who contributed to an axiomatic approach to continuum mechanics, present a solid foundation of non-linear materials science and basic properties of fluid media, striving to find a rational ingress to more complex mechanical phenomena by setting up clear and plausible theories of mechanical behaviour. Since its first publication in 1965 this book has been the basis for all subsequent research in this important field. This edition should be highly welcome to both engineers and physicists.

Recensione:

From the reviews of the third edition:

"As there is hardly anyone in the continuum mechanics community who does not know, use and appreciate Truesdell and Noll’s ‘Nonlinear field theories of mechanics’, there is surely no need to review this masterpiece again ... . What is interesting to note is that Springer Verlag released a third edition ... ." (Albrecht Bertram, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1068, 2005)

"The Springer-Verlag now published the third edition of the historical Volume III/3 of the Encyclopedia of Physics ... . This text gives interesting insights into the genesis of their work. ... It is interesting to note that their system of notation, symbols, and terminology has been widely adopted, even by scientific descendants of critics of their enterprise. ... No doubt, these arguments justify the reprint of the The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 25 (3-4), 2005)
