This hard bound spinoff from a special issue of the Journal of
Elasticity (volume 100: 1-2) features an English translation of an
important 1955 paper by Walter Noll, Die Herteitung der
Grundgleichungen der Thermomechanik der Kontinua aus der
statistischen Mechanik. In this paper, Noll addresses and analyses
the seminal paper of Irving and Kirkwood, published five years
earlier, on The Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport
Processes. IV, The Equations of Hydrodynamics. Noll gives new
interpretations and provides a firm setting for ideas advanced by
Irving & Kirkwood that clearly and directly relate to the basic
principles of continuum mechanics. However, the original German
paper of Noll seems not to have gained the attention that it
deserved as the field of statistical mechanics grew both
fundamentally and in applications. By providing an English
translation of Noll s paper, Lehoucq & Von Lilienfeld-Toal have
provided a great service to the scientific community. The Noll
translation is presented here to expose fundamental ideas of
statistical mechanics that are of major importance in the modeling
of small-scale behavior and its link to macroscopic observations.
In recent years there has been a rapidly increasing reliance upon
and interest in multi scale methods in computation. This has
accentuated the need to establish meaningful connections between
atomistic and continuum descriptions of contact interactions such
as stress and heat flux. In recognition of Noll s contribution, the
translation is accompanied by four relevant and invited papers,
including one, entitled Thoughts on the Concept of Stress, by Noll
himself.
