Titre(s) : Continuum mechanics through the twentieth century [Texte électronique] : a concise historical perspective / Gérard A. Maugin
Publication : Dordrecht : Springer, 2013
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Collection : Solid mechanics and its applications ; volume 196
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This overview of the development of continuum mechanics throughout the twentieth century
is unique and ambitious. Utilizing a historical perspective, it combines an exposition
on the technical progress made in the field and a marked interest in the role played
by remarkable individuals and scientific schools and institutions on a rapidly evolving
social background. It underlines the newly raised technical questions and their answers,
and the ongoing reflections on the bases of continuum mechanics associated, or in
competition, with other branches of the physical sciences, including thermodynamics
