Without compromising on pedagogy, the authors skillfully introduce the concepts and historical motivations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in the context of material modelling. The detailed derivations and broad scope of applications - ranging from damage mechanics to fluids - make this text a valuable resource for the novice as well as the experienced practitioner.'

It presents mathematical prerequisites and the foundations of continuum mechanics, then introduces more advanced topics such as theories for the investigation of material models. Taking the student step-by-step through the subject, it allows full understanding of the theory and how it relates to real-world practical applications. Packed with examples and illustrations to describe complex concepts and mathematical derivations, and including end-of-chapter problems with helpful hints, this is the ideal, accessible introduction to continuum thermodynamics for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and civil engineering.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
