Title: Configurational Forces As Basic Concepts of Continuum Physics {Applied Mathematical Sciences (Springer-Verlag New York Inc.) ; V. 137}
Description: This is an exploration of the configurational forces within the idealized continuum where fluids or other materials are in a continuous distribution of matter with no empty space, so that molecular structure is ignored, and average pressure, velocity, etc. are considered.
Subjects: Configuration space, Field theory (Physics), Field theory (physics)
