Invariance and Balance in Continuum Mechanics

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Analysis and Continuum Mechanics

Abstract

The search for a convenient set of axioms for classical continuum mechanics has interest not only “per se” (Hilbert’s sixth problem), but also because the choice of a particular set may suggest, or hinder, generalizations appropriate to circumstances more complex that those envisaged classically (e.g., to mixtures, continua with microstructure, etc.).
