Beschreibung:
Assuming only a basic knowledge of Newtonian mechanics, this textbook provides a unified, comprehensive, and coherent introduction to continuum mechanics from a modern perspective. It presents in-depth discussions of important topics, such as local thermodynamic equilibrium, basic aspects of turbulence, shocks, reaction forces and moments, aerodynamics, vortices, waves, and numeric computation. With updated problems and solutions, this second edition features three new chapters addressing elasticity of slender rods, and local and global aspects of thermodynamics of continuous matter. All online materiala "MathematicaA(R) programs, images, additional problems, and brief biographiesa "have also been updated.
Assuming only a basic knowledge of Newtonian mechanics, this textbook provides a unified, comprehensive, and coherent introduction to continuum mechanics from a modern perspective. It presents discussions of such topics as local thermodynamic equilibrium, existing models of turbulence, basic magnetohydrodrnamics, tsunamis, and explosions.
