Continuum Mechanics: The Origins of Partial Differential Equations successfully makes the topic accessible to advanced undergraduate mathematics majors by aligning the mathematical notation and language with related courses in multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations; making connections with other areas of applied mathematics where parial differential equations arise; introducing thermodynamics and the implications of the entropy inequality for constitutive relations; and treating multiconstituent continua to illustrate how important phenomena such as diffusion and porous-media flow obey continuum-mechanical principles.
Begining with geometric, algebraic, and analytical foundations it moves on to a range of topics in kinematics that serve as the descriptive language for continuum motions. Next, balance laws are addressed, followed by an exploiration of constitutive theory from two vantage points: common constitutive laws that are encountered in heat flow, fluid dynamics, and solid mechanics; and an elementary treatment of constiututive relations from a more formal perspective.
Finally, the book introduces an approach to multiconstiuent continua based on mixture theory. This serves as a streamnlined way to introduce diffusion, which is a topic of immense importance in environmental science and engineering and enables a rational derivation of the field equations most commonly used to model flows in porous media.

Presents a self-contained introduction to continuum mechanics that illustrates how many of the important partial differential equations of applied mathematics arise from continuum modeling principles
Written as an accessible introduction, Continuum Mechanics: The Birthplace of Mathematical Models provides a comprehensive foundation for mathematical models used in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and heat transfer. The book features derivations of commonly used differential equations based on the fundamental continuum mechanical concepts encountered in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and geophysics.
The book begins with geometric, algebraic, and analytical foundations before introducing topics in kinematics. The book then addresses balance laws, constitutive relations, and constitutive theory. Finally, the book presents an approach to multiconstituent continua based on mixture theory to illustrate how phenomena, such as diffusion and porous-media flow, obey continuum-mechanical principles.
Continuum Mechanics: The Birthplace of Mathematical Models features:
Direct vector and tensor notation to minimize the reliance on particular coordinate systems when presenting the theory
Terminology that is aligned with standard courses in vector calculus and linear algebra
The use of Cartesian coordinates in the examples and problems to provide readers with a familiar setting
Over 200 exercises and problems with hints and solutions in an appendix
Introductions to constitutive theory and multiconstituent continua, which are distinctive for books at this level Continuum Mechanics: The Birthplace of Mathematical Models is an ideal textbook for courses on continuum mechanics for upper-undergraduate mathematics majors and graduate students in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, physics, and geophysics. The book is also an excellent reference for professional mathematicians, physical scientists, and engineers.
