What is Introduction to the Thermomechanics of Continua and Hyperbolic Systems about?

The primary aim of this book is to present a unified treatment of the thermomechanics of continua using the axiomatic approach typical of rational mechanics. While many books on continuum mechanics focus on specific types of continuous bodies, such as deformable solid bodies or fluids, this book adopts a general perspective. It presents the mathematical structure of balance laws and constitutive equations as a cohesive whole, with special attention given to the modern theory of constitutive equations. Notable principles such as the principle of material indifference and the contemporary interpretation of the principle of entropy are emphasized. This book will be beneficial not only to engineering students but also to students from other scientific disciplines where aspects of continuum mechanics are studied. It provides an opportunity to view traditionally distinct topics in a broader, interconnected context. To ensure self-consistency, the first part of the book addresses issues related to linear algebra, with a particular focus on linear operators within finite-dimensional vector spaces. The book then offers a detailed exploration of finite deformations of continua, followed by a
