Epstein presents the fundamental concepts of modern differential geometry within the framework of continuum mechanics. Divided into three parts of roughly equal
This contributed volume explores the applications of various topics in modern differential geometry to the foundations of continuum mechanics. In particular, th
This monograph is the first in which the theory of groupoids and algebroids is applied to the study of the properties of uniformity and homogeneity of continuou
This book illustrates the deep roots of the geometrically nonlinear kinematics of generalized continuum mechanics in differential geometry. Besides applications
This text is intended to provide a modern and integrated treatment of the foundations and applications of continuum mechanics. There is a significant increase i
