Authors:
- This is the first comprehensive treatment in book form of free energies of materials with memory
- This is the first systematic presentation in book form of a new method of analysis of the evolution equations of viscoelastic materials, using the concept of a minimal state
- The various new topics included are firmly rooted on a foundation of Continuum Thermodynamics, which is discussed in detail, including a general abstract formulation of the theory
- Constraints imposed by thermodynamics are extensively used
- The work is self-contained to a significant degree in that it contains a detailed presentation of Continuum Mechanics and classical theories
- This is the first systematic treatment in book for of the Saint Venant
- Problem for viscoelastic materials and of the controllibility of thermoelastic systems with memory
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Modern technology has evolved many material properties leading to memory for which a unifying description seems impossible. The book under review attempts to provide such a unifying description. It presents detailed accounts on the mechanics and thermodynamics of materials with memory, including properties of the dynamical equations which describe their evolution in time under varying loads. … The book presents a wealth of information on materials with memory and it will attract a wide readership from academia.” (K. N. Shukla, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)
