商品簡介
A text intended for students and researchers whose main concerns is the rational modeling of complex and/or new materials with physical and engineering applications, such as those accounting for coupled-field, hysteresis, fracture, nonlinear-diffusion, phase-transformation phenomena. Macroscopic irreversible thermodynamics is presented in its realm by appealing to the notions of internal variables of state. The science is applied to fluids and solids, as well as viscous, viscoelastic, viscoplastic, and purely plastic continua. Also treated are solutions of polymers and polyelectrodes, liquid crystals, the phenomena of damage and creep in solids, fracture of solids, phase transitions, complex phenomena in electromagnetic bodies, and reaction diffusion systems.
