Galilean Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continua

by Gery de Saxce and Claude Vallee

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.
