Mechanical Principles
Chapter
Abstract
In this chapter we discuss kinematical descriptions of motion, mathematical representation of internal force systems, and principles of balance of mass, momentum, and energy in general forms that that apply to all continuous materials. Several subsequent chapters are devoted to discussion of the constitutive relations that are used to express the distinguishing characteristics of specific materials.
