The 39 papers in this collection are devoted mostly to the exact
mathematical analysis of problems in continuum mechanics, but also
to problems of a purely mathematical nature mainly connected to
partial differential equations from continuum physics. All the
papers are dedicated to J. Serrin and were originally published in
the "Archive of Rational Mechanics and Analysis."
This volume collects papers dedicated toWalterNoll on his sixtieth
birthday, January 7, 1985. They first appeared in Volumes 86-97
(1984-1987) of the Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. At
the request ofthe Editors the list of authors to be invited was
drawn up by B.D. Coleman, M. Feinberg, and J. Serrin. WalterNoll's
influence upon research into the foundations of mechanics and
thermodynamics is plain, everywhere acknowledged. Less obvious is
the wide effect his writings have exerted upon those who apply
mechanics to special problems, but it is witnessed by the now
frequent use of terms, concepts, and styles of argument he
introduced, use sometimes by young engineers who have learnt them
in some recent textbook and hence take them for granted, oftenwith
no idea whence they come. Examples are "objectivity", "material
frame- indifference", "constitutive equation", "reduced form" of
the last-named, "sim- plematerial", "simplesolid", "simplefluid",
"isotropygroup",andtheassociated notations and lines of reasoning.
