The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics 3rd Edition by C. Truesdell (PDF)

Description

This third edition includes the corrections made by the late C. Truesdell in his personal copy. It is annotated by S. Antman who describes 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 has greatly contributed to the unification and standardization of the concepts, terms and notations in the field.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews of the third edition:”As there is hardly anyone in the continuum mechanics community who does not know, use and appreciate Truesdell and Noll’s ‘Nonlinear field theories of mechanics’, there is surely no need to review this masterpiece again … . What is interesting to note is that Springer Verlag released a third edition … .” (Albrecht Bertram, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1068, 2005)”The Springer-Verlag now published the third edition of the historical Volume III/3 of the Encyclopedia of Physics … . This text gives interesting insights into the genesis of their work. … It is interesting to note that their system of notation, symbols, and terminology has been widely adopted, even by scientific descendants of critics of their enterprise. … No doubt, these arguments justify the reprint of the The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics.” (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 25 (3-4), 2005) From the Back Cover 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I fully agree with the other reviewers: this is THE BIBLE of continuum mechanics. However, if you looking for an introduction to the subject, start with a more accessible reference, such as those by Spencer, Lai, Mase, Chung, Holzapfel, Ogden, etc. There are several good introductions from which to choose. I’m not sure that anyone dabbles in this subject, though, so go ahead and buy this book, because it is likely you are writing a graduate thesis on the subject if you are looking to purchase books on the topic. This book was an excellent reference when I was writing my PhD dissertation; the subject was artery wall mechanics. I’m such a nerd that I got Walter Noll to sign my copy!

⭐As an undergraduate student I must say Trüsdell’s Non-linear Field Theories of Mechanics is no book for beginners. However it is probably one of the most complete books in Continuum Mechanics. It covers in full details the discussions and hypothesis regarding the main sort of materials and their constituive equations. The chapters dedicated to elastic and hyperelastic materials are definetily the best texts I’ve already read regarding the subject. I definetily recommend it, specially if you plan to enhance your understanding in Continuum Mechanics. A “must have” in every physicist’s and engineer’s shelf!!!

⭐No issues.
