Contributed by world-renowned specialists on the occasion of Paul
Germain's 80th birthday, this unique book reflects the foundational
works and the intellectual influence of this author. It presents
the realm of modern thermomechanics with its extraordinary wealth
of applications to the behaviour of materials, whether solid or
fluid. The thirty-one contributions follow an easygoing
autobiographical sketch by Paul Germain, and highlight the power
and richness of a methodological approach to the phenomenology of
many materials. This approach combines harmoniously thermodynamics
and continuum theory in order to provide exploitable,
thermodynamically admissible models of a large variety of
behaviours and phenomena, including those of diffusion,
thermoelasticity, viscoplasticity, relaxation, hysteresis, wetting,
shape-memory effects, growth, phase transitions, stability,
fracture, shocks, machining of materials, microstructured solids,
complex fluids, etc. Especially aimed at graduate students,
researchers, and engineers in mechanical engineering and materials
science, this book also presents the state of the art in an active
field of research and opens new horizons in other scientific
fields, such as applied mathematics and applied physics, because of
the intellectual satisfaction and remarkable efficiency provided by
the advocated approach.
