Continuum Mechanics Through the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Historical Perspectives from John Bernoulli (1727) to Ernst Hellinger (1914) /

Conceived as a series of more or less autonomous essays, the present book critically exposes the initial developments of continuum thermo-mechanics in a post Newtonian period extending from the creative works of the Bernoullis to the First World war, i.e., roughly during first the â_oAge of reasonâ_...
