Description
Continuum Thermodynamics and Material Modelling presents a rigorous treatment of thermodynamic principles applied to continuous media and their material behavior. This advanced text explores the fundamental concepts of continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, and constitutive modeling, offering both theoretical depth and practical engineering applications.
The book covers essential topics including stress-strain relationships, energy principles, entropy production, and the development of sophisticated material models for various engineering applications. Written by renowned experts Kari Santaoja and J. N. Reddy, it bridges classical thermodynamic theory with modern computational methods.
Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, this Cambridge University Press publication serves as a reference for understanding material behavior under complex loading conditions and developing predictive models for engineering design and analysis.
