Epilogue. 330 $aThis overview of the development of continuum mechanics throughout the twentieth century is unique and ambitious. Utilizing a historical perspective, it combines an exposition on the technical progress made in the field and a marked interest in the role played by remarkable individuals and scientific schools and institutions on a rapidly evolving social background. It underlines the newly raised technical questions and their answers, and the ongoing reflections on the bases of continuum mechanics associated, or in competition, with other branches of the physical sciences, including thermodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the development of a more realistic modeling of deformable solids and the exploitation of new mathematical tools. The book presents a balanced appraisal of advances made in various parts of the world. The author contributes his technical expertise, personal recollections, and international experience to this general overview, which is very informative albeit concise. 410 0$aSolid mechanics and its applications ;$vvolume 196. 606 $aContinuum mechanics 606 $aElectromagnetic interactions 615 0$aContinuum mechanics. 615 0$aElectromagnetic interactions. 676 $a531 700 $aMaugin$b Gerard A$031842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438043503321 996 $aContinuum Mechanics Through the Twentieth Century$92501431 997 $aUNINA
