Presents a self-contained introduction to continuum mechanics that
illustrates how many of the important partial differential
equations of applied mathematics arise from continuum modeling
principles Written as an accessible introduction, Continuum
Mechanics: The Birthplace of Mathematical Models provides a
comprehensive foundation for mathematical models used in fluid
mechanics, solid mechanics, and heat transfer. The book features
derivations of commonly used differential equations based on the
fundamental continuum mechanical concepts encountered in various
fields, such as engineering, physics, and geophysics. The book
begins with geometric, algebraic, and analytical foundations before
introducing topics in kinematics. The book then addresses balance
laws, constitutive relations, and constitutive theory. Finally, the
book presents an approach to multiconstituent continua based on
mixture theory to illustrate how phenomena, such as diffusion and
porous-media flow, obey continuum-mechanical principles. Continuum
Mechanics: The Birthplace of Mathematical Models features: * Direct
vector and tensor notation to minimize the reliance on particular
coordinate systems when presenting the theory * Terminology that is
aligned with standard courses in vector calculus and linear algebra
* The use of Cartesian coordinates in the examples and problems to
provide readers with a familiar setting * Over 200 exercises and
problems with hints and solutions in an appendix * Introductions to
constitutive theory and multiconstituent continua, which are
distinctive for books at this level Continuum Mechanics: The
Birthplace of Mathematical Models is an ideal textbook for courses
on continuum mechanics for upper-undergraduate mathematics majors
and graduate students in applied mathematics, mechanical
engineering, civil engineering, physics, and geophysics. The book
is also an excellent reference for professional mathematicians,
physical scientists, and engineers.
