Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics: From Fundamental Concepts to Governing Equations
by by Ellad B. Tadmor, Ronald E. Miller, Ryan S. Elliott

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107008263

Continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are foundational theories of many fields of science and engineering. This book presents a fresh perspective on these fundamental topics, connecting micro and nanoscopic theories and emphasizing topics relevant to understanding solid-state thermo-mechanical behavior.

Providing clear, in-depth coverage, the book gives a self-contained treatment of topics directly related to nonlinear materials modeling. It starts with vectors and tensors, finite deformation kinematics, the fundamental balance and conservation laws, and classical thermodynamics. It then discusses the principles of constitutive theory and examples of constitutive models, presents a foundational treatment of energy principles and stability theory, and concludes with example closed-form solutions and the essentials of finite elements.

Thermodynamics
by Sanford Klein, Gregory Nellis

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521195705

This book differs from other thermodynamics texts in its objective which is to provide engineers with the concepts, tools, and experience needed to solve practical real-world energy problems. The presentation integrates computer tools (e.g., EES) with thermodynamic concepts to allow engineering students and practicing engineers to solve problems they would otherwise not be able to solve.

The use of examples, solved and explained in detail, and supported with property diagrams that are drawn to scale, is ubiquitous in this textbook. The examples are not trivial, drill problems, but rather complex and timely real world problems that are of interest by themselves. As with the presentation, the solutions to these examples are complete and do not skip steps.
