Ian Murdoch's Physical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics will
interest engineers, mathematicians, and physicists who study the
macroscopic behaviour of solids and fluids or engage in molecular
dynamical simulations. In contrast to standard works on the
subject, Murdoch's book examines physical assumptions implicit in
continuum modelling from a molecular perspective. In so doing,
physical interpretations of concepts and fields are clarified by
emphasising both their microscopic origin and sensitivity to scales
of length and time. Murdoch expertly applies this approach to
theories of mixtures, generalised continua, fluid flow through
porous media, and systems whose molecular content changes with
time. Elements of statistical mechanics are included, for
comparison, and two extensive appendices address relevant
mathematical concepts and results. This unique and thorough work is
an authoritative reference for both students and experts in the
field.
