Review: Review for Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics: From Fundamental Concepts to Governing Equations - Continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are foundational theories of many fields of science and engineering. This book presents a fresh perspective on these important subjects, exploring their fundamentals and connecting them with micro- and nanoscopic theories. Providing clear, in-depth coverage, this book shows a self-contained treatment of topics directly related to nonlinear materials modeling through emphasizing topics relevant to understanding solid-state thermo-mechanical behavior. Together, continuum mechanics and thermodynamics form the fundamental theory lying at the heart of many disciplines in science and engineering. It starts with vectors and tensors, finite deformation kinematics, the fundamental balance and conservation laws, and classical thermodynamics. It then discusses the principles of constitutive theory and examples of constitutive models, presents a foundational treatment of energy principles and stability theory, and concludes with example closed-form solutions and the essentials of finite elements. This is a nonlinear theory dealing with the macroscopic response of material bodies to mechanical and thermal loading. First, rather than just presenting equations, they attempt to explain where the equations come from and what are the underlying assumptions. This is important for those seeking to integrate continuum mechanics within a multiscale paradigm, but is also of great value for those who seek to master continuum mechanics on its own, and ever for experts who wish to reflect further upon the basis of their field and its limitations. To this end, they have developed the subject in a step-by-step fashion, building up from fundamental ideas and concepts to more complex principles. A second difference on the subject is the integration of thermodynamics into the discussion of continuum mechanics.Thermodynamics plays a vital role at the foundation of continuum mechanics. In fact, they think of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics as a single unified subject. In addition, thermodynamics introduces key constraints on allowable forms of constitutive relations, the fundamental equations describing material response, that form the gateway to the underlying microscopic structure of the material.The third difference is that they have written continuum mechanics and thermodynamics with an eye to making it accessible to a broad readership. Without oversimplifying any of the concepts, they endeavor to explain everything in clear terms with as little jargon as possible. They do not assume prior knowledge of the subject matter. Thus, a reader from any field with an undergraduate education in engineering or science should be able to follow the presentation.They think that this is particularly important as it makes this vital subject accessible to readers and students from physics, chemistry and materials sciences who traditionally have less exposure to continuum mechanics. Together with its companion book, Modeling Materials, (Cambridge University Press, 2011), this work presents the fundamentals of multiscale materials modeling for graduate students and researchers in physics, materials science, chemistry and engineering, such that it is an excellent book that is very suitable for scientists, engineers and graduate students in science disciplines as well as in other emerging fields who want to study advanced achievements in this book.
