Ian Murdoch's Physical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics will interest engineers, mathematicians, and physicists who study the macroscopic behaviour of solids

This authoritative reference book examines and clarifies physical assumptions implicit in continuum modelling from a molecular perspective.

The book unifies classical continuum mechanics and turbulence modeling, i.e. the same fundamental concepts are used to derive model equations for material behav

Moving on to derivation of the governing equations, this book presents applications in the areas of linear and nonlinear elasticity.

This is a modern textbook for courses in continuum mechanics. It provides both the theoretical framework and the numerical methods required to model the behavio
