Galilean Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continua

This title proposes a unified approach to continuum mechanics which is consistent with Galilean relativity.  Based on the notion of affine tensors, a simple generalization of the classical tensors, this approach allows gathering the usual mechanical entities — mass, energy, force, moment, stresses, linear and angular momentum — in a single tensor. Starting with the basic subjects, and continuing through to the most advanced topics, the authors' presentation is progressive, inductive and bot
