Bücher von C. Truesdell

Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics has become a classic treatise in the field of continuum mechanics. Originally published nearly forty years ago, it probably has influenced practically all subsequent monographs on the subject. Its main parts are: - The General Theory of Material Behavior- Elasticity- FluidityThis third edition includes the corrections made by the late C. Truesdell in his personal copy. It is annotated by W. Noll and by S. Antman who describe the monograph¿s genesis and the impact it has made on the modern development of mechanics. Originally published as Volume III/3 of the famous Encyclopedia of Physics in 1965, this book describes and summarizes "everything that was both known and worth knowing in the field at the time." It also greatly contributed to the unification and standardization of the concepts, terms and notations in the field.

¿The authors have backgrounds which are ideally suited for writing this book. ...They have produced a compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest¿The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions. The level of mathematics is that commonly taught to undergraduates in mathematics departments. This is an excellent book which is highly recommended to students and researchers in fluid mechanics.¿ (Mathematical Reviews)¿The writing style is quintessential Truesdellania: purely mathematical, breathtaking, irrepressible, irreverent, uncompromising, taking no prisoners...The book is filled with historical nuggets¿Its pure, exact mathematics will baptize, enlighten and exhilarate.¿ (Applied Mechanics Review)¿The most positive aspect of this book is its brevity; a large number of topics are covered within the space of a little more than 250 pages.¿ (Current Science)¿This advanced monograph presents one of the best new views on the subject for those who like relative simplicity and certain abstractness combined with mathematical rigor and elegance¿The book should be useful for graduates and researchers not only in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering but also in advanced materials science and technology¿Each public scientific library as well as hydrodynamics hand libraries should own this timeless book¿Everyone who decides to buy this book can be sure to have bought a classic of science and the heritage of an outstanding scientist.¿ (Silikáty)¿All applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book an essential reading resource for fluids.¿ (Simulation News Europe)

When, after the agreeable fatigues of solicitation, Mrs Millamant set out a long bill of conditions subject to which she might by degrees dwindle into a wife, Mirabell offered in return the condition that he might not thereby be beyond measure enlarged into a husband.

Moreover, within EULER'S theory of the perfect fluid, or its generalization, the GREEN-KIRCHHOFF-KELVIN theory of finite elasticity, weak waves may grow stronger and become shock waves, which propagate according to more complicated but equally definite principles.

This volume collects my shorter articles on the history of mechanics, some already published in various places, some revised from earlier papers, and some never published before.
