Based on the notion of affine tensors, a simple generalization of the classical tensors, this approach allows gathering the usual mechanical entities - mass, energy, force, moment, stresses, linear and angular momentum - in a single tensor. Starting with the basic subjects, and continuing through to the most advanced topics, the authors' presentation is progressive, inductive and bottom-up. They begin with the concept of an affine tensor, a natural extension of the classical tensors. The simplest types of affine tensors are the points of an affine space and the affine functions on this space, but there are more complex ones which are relevant for mechanics - torsors and momenta. The essential point is to derive the balance equations of a continuum from a unique principle which claims that these tensors are affine-divergence free.--Source other than Library of Congress.Mechanical engineering and solid mechanics series.Continuum mechanicsData processingLaws of thermodynamicsTextbooksContinuum mechanicsData processing.Laws of thermodynamics531Saxce Géry de990382MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813874203321Galilean mechanics and thermodynamics of continua2265742UNINA
