In this invaluable book, macroscopic irreversible thermodynamics is presented in its realm and its splendor by appealing to the notion of internal variables of
The notion of continuum thermodynamics, adopted in this book, is primarily understood as a strategy for development of continuous models of various physical sys
This book concentrates upon the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture as opposed to the physical theory of these fields, presented in the thermomechani
