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. \u003cbr\u003e  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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792364078\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-306-46946-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 422\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46606896595084,"sku":"9780792364078","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792364078.jpg?v=1773276753","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792364078","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
