“Presenting a complete state-of-the-art of continuum mechanics and continuum thermodynamics, the encyclopedia will be useful to Master degree students. They will find the necessary bases of continuum mechanics. The Encyclopedia will also be useful to researchers involved in continuum mechanics. … With the included lists of references for the different entries they are interested in, they will get links to deeper analyses. The Encyclopedia is intended to live thanks to the contributions of readers … .” (Alain Brillard, zbMATH 1477.74001, 2022)
This Encyclopedia covers the entire science of continuum mechanics including the mechanics of materials and fluids. The encyclopedia comprises mathematical definitions for continuum mechanical modeling, fundamental physical concepts, mechanical modeling methodology, numerical approaches and many fundamental applications. The modelling and analytical techniques are powerful tools in mechanical civil and areospsace engineering, plus in related fields of plasticity, viscoelasticity and rheology. Tensor-based and reference-frame-independent, continuum mechanics has recently found applications in geophysics and materials.
