About the Book

An important resource, this book provides a short-course in nonlinear continuum mechanics, contains a brief account of electromagnetic wave theory and Maxwell's equations as well as an introductory account of quantum mechanics, and presents a brief introduction to statistical mechanics of systems in thermodynamic equilibrium. Also included is information on continuum mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. The author approaches mechanics as the branch of physics and mathematical science concerned with describing the motion of bodies, including their deformation and temperature changes, under the action of forces, and if the study of the propagation of waves and the transformation of energy in physical systems are added, then the term mechanics does indeed apply to everything that is covered within the book.

Table of Contents:
Preface. I. Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics. 1. Kinematics of Deformable Bodies. 2. Mass and Momentum. 3. Force and Stress in Deformable Bodies. 4. The Principles of Balance of Linear and Angular Momentum. 5. The Principle of Conservation of Energy. 6. Thermodynamics of Continua and the Second Law. 7. Constitutive Equations. 8. Examples and Applications. II. Electromagnetic Field Theory and Quantum Mechanics. 9. Electromagnetic Waves. 10. Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. 11. Dynamical Variables and Observables in Quantum Mechanics: The Mathematical Formalism. 12. Applications: The Harmonic Oscillator and the Hydrogen Atom. 13. Spin and Pauli's Principle. 14. Atomic and Molecular Structure. 15. Ab Initio Methods: Approximate Methods and Density Functional Theory. III. Statistical Mechanics. 16. Basic Concepts: Ensembles, Distribution Functions and Averages. 17. Statistical Mechanics Basis of Classical Thermodynamics. Exercises. References.

About the Author :
John Tinsley Oden, PhD, is Associate Vice President for Research and Director of the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at The University of Texas at Austin. He was the founding Director of the Institute, which was created in January of 2003 as an expansion of the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics. A member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the National Academies of Engineering of Mexico and of Brazil, and The American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he serves on numerous national and international organizational, scientific, and advisory committees including the NSF Blue Ribbon Panel on Simulation-Based Engineering Science and the Task Force on Cyber Science and Grand Challenge Communities and Virtual Organizations. Dr. Oden has worked extensively on the mathematical theory and implementation of numerical methods applied to problems in solid and fluid mechanics and, particularly, nonlinear continuum mechanics and, in recent years, multi-scale modeling, stochastic systems, and uncertainty quantification.

Review :
"The book also serves as a valuable reference for professionals working in the areas of modeling and simulation, physics, and computational engineering." ( Zentralblatt MATH , 2012)
