The mechanics and thermodynamics of continuous media.

Author(s) : SILHAVY M.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book presents the non-linear theories of continuum thermomechanics. The author emphasizes issues that are foundational in nature and seeks results common to materials of arbitrary symmetry. Contents: balance equations; foundations (material bodies; first and second laws of thermodynamics; principle of material frame indifference); constitutive theory (isotropic functions; equations; equilibrium and dynamic responses); thermodynamic equilibrium (environment; equilibrium states; extremum principles; convexity; constitutive inequalities; convexity conditions for isotropic functions; thermostatics of fluids (a local approach to the equilibrium of solids; direct methods in equilibrium theory); dynamics (dynamical thermoelastic and adiabatic theories; waves in the referential description; adiabatic fluid dynamics; dissipation of energy in solids).
