Preface

This book on Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (CMT) (together with the com-panion book, by Tadmor and Miller, on Modeling Materials (MM) [TM11]) is a compre-hensive framework for understanding modern attempts at modeling materials phenomenafrom first principles. This is a challenging problem because material behavior is dictated bymany different processes, occurring on vastly different length and time scales, that interactin complex ways to give the overall material response. Further, these processes have tradi-tionally been studied by different researchers, from different fields, using different theoriesand tools. For example, the bonding between individual atoms making up a material isstudied by physicists using quantum mechanics, while the macroscopic deformation ofmaterials falls within the domain of engineers who use continuum mechanics. In the enda multiscale modeling approach – capable of predicting the behavior of materials at themacroscopic scale but built on the quantum foundations of atomic bonding – requires adeep understanding of topics from a broad range of disciplines and the connections betweenthem. These include quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and materials science, aswell as continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, which are the focus of this book.

Together, continuum mechanics and thermodynamics form the fundamental theory lyingat the heart of many disciplines in science and engineering. This is a nonlinear theory dealingwith the macroscopic response of material bodies to mechanical and thermal loading.There are many books on continuum mechanics, but we believe that several factors set ourbook apart. First, is our emphasis on fundamental concepts. Rather than just presentingequations, we attempt to explain where the equations come from and what are the underlyingassumptions. This is important for those seeking to integrate continuum mechanics withina multiscale paradigm, but is also of great value for those who seek to master continuummechanics on its own, and even for experts who wish to reflect further upon the basisof their field and its limitations. To this end, we have adopted a careful expository style,developing the subject in a step-by-step fashion, building up from fundamental ideas andconcepts to more complex principles. We have taken pains to carefully and clearly discussmany of the subtle points of the subject which are often glossed over in other books.

A second difference setting our CMT apart from other books on the subject is the inte-gration of thermodynamics into the discussion of continuum mechanics. Thermodynamicsis a difficult subject which is normally taught using the language of heat engines andCarnot cycles. It is very difficult for most students to see how these concepts are relatedto continuum mechanics. Yet thermodynamics plays a vital role at the foundation of con-tinuum mechanics. In fact, we think of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics as asingle unified subject. It is simply impossible to discuss thermomechanical processes in

materials without including thermodynamics. In addition, thermodynamics introduces keyconstraints on allowable forms of constitutive relations, the fundamental equations describ-ing material response, that form the gateway to the underlying microscopic structure of thematerial.

The third difference is that we have written CMT with an eye to making it accessible toa broad readership. Without oversimplifying any of the concepts, we endeavor to explaineverything in clear terms with as little jargon as possible. We do not assume prior knowledgeof the subject matter. Thus, a reader from any field with an undergraduate education inengineering or science should be able to follow the presentation. We feel that this isparticularly important as it makes this vital subject accessible to researchers and studentsfrom physics, chemistry and materials science who traditionally have less exposure tocontinuum mechanics.

The philosophy underlying CMT and its form provide it with a dual role. On its own,it is suitable as a first introduction to continuum mechanics and thermodynamics forgraduate students or researchers in science and engineering. Together with MM, it providesa comprehensive and integrated framework for modern predictive materials modeling. Withthis latter goal in mind, CMT is written using a similar style, notation and terminology tothat of MM, making it easy to use the two books together.

Acknowledgments

As we explained in the preface, this book is really one part of a two-volume project coveringmany topics in materials modeling beyond continuum mechanics and thermodynamics(CMT). In the following few pages, we choose to express our thanks to everyone involvedin the entire project, whether their contribution directly affected the words on these pagesor only the words in the companion volume (Modeling Materials or MM for short). Wemention this by way of explanation, in case a careful reader is wondering why we thankpeople for helping us with topics that clearly do not appear in the table of contents. Thepeople thanked below most certainly helped shape our understanding of materials modelingin general, even if not with respect to CMT specifically.

Our greatest debt goes to our wives, Jennifer, Granda and Sheila, and to our children:Maya, Lea, Persephone and Max. They have suffered more than anyone during the longcourse of this project, as their preoccupied husbands and fathers stole too much time fromso many other things. They need to be thanked for such a long list of reasons that we wouldlikely have to split these two books into three if we were thorough with the details. Thanks,all of you, for your patience and support. We must also thank our own parents Zehev andCiporah, Don and Linda, and Robert and Mary for giving us the impression – perhapsmistaken – that everybody will appreciate what we have to say as much as they do.

The writing of a book is always a collaborative effort with so many people whose namesdo not appear on the cover. These include students in courses, colleagues in the corridors andoffices of our universities and unlucky friends cornered at conferences. The list of peoplethat offered a little piece of advice here, a correction there or a word of encouragementsomewhere else is indeed too long to include, but there are a few people in particular thatdeserve special mention.

Some colleagues generously did calculations for us, verified results or provided othercontributions from their own work. We thank Quiying Chen at the NRC Institute forAerospace Research in Ottawa for his time in calculating UBER curves with densityfunctional theory. Tsveta Sendova, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota(UMN), coded and ran the simulations for the two-dimensional NEB example we present.Another postdoctoral fellow at UMN, Woo Kyun Kim, performed the indentation andthermal expansion simulations used to illustrate the hot-QC method. We thank Yuri Mishin(George Mason University) for providing figures, and Christoph Ortner (Oxford University)for providing many insights into the problem of full versus sequential minimization ofmultivariate functions, including the example we provide in the MM book. The hot-QCproject has greatly benefited from the work of Laurent Dupuy (SEA Saclay) and FredericLegoll (Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees). Their help in preparing a journal paper on

the subject has also proven extremely useful in preparing the chapter on dynamic multiscalemethods. Furio Ercolessi must be thanked in general for his fantastic web-based notes onso many important subjects discussed herein, and specifically for providing us with hismolecular dynamics code as a teaching tool to provide with MM.

Other colleagues patiently taught us the many subjects in these books about which weare decidedly not experts. Dong Qian at the University of Cincinnati and Michael Parks atSandia National Laboratories very patiently and repeatedly explained the nuances of variousmultiscale methods to us. Similarly, we would like to thank Catalin Picu at the RensselaerPolytechnic Institute for explaining CACM, and Leo Shilkrot for his frank conversationsabout CADD and the BSM. Noam Bernstein at the Navy Research Laboratories (NRL) wasinvaluable in explaining DFT in a way that an engineer could understand, and Peter Watson atCarleton University was instrumental in our eventual understanding of quantum mechanics.Roger Fosdick (UMN) discussed, at length, many topics related to continuum mechanicsincluding tensor notation, material frame-indifference, Reynolds transport theorem and theprinciple of action and reaction. He also took the time to read and comment on our take onmaterial frame-indifference.

We are especially indebted to those colleagues that were willing to take the time tocarefully read and comment on drafts of various sections of the books – a thankless anddelicate task. James Sethna (Cornell University) and Dionisios Margetis (University ofMaryland) read and commented on the statistical mechanics chapter. Noam Bernstein(NRL) must be thanked more than once, for reading and commenting on both the quantummechanics chapter and the sections on cluster expansions. Nikhil Admal, a graduate studentworking with Ellad at UMN, contributed significantly to our understanding of stress andread and commented on various continuum mechanics topics, Marcel Arndt helped bytranslating an important paper on stress by Walter Noll from German to English andworked with Ellad on developing algorithms for lattice calculations, while Gang Lu atthe California State University (Northridge) set us straight on several points about densityfunctional theory. Other patient readers to whom we say “thank you” include Mitch Luskinfrom UMN (numerical analysis of multiscale methods and quantum mechanics), Bill Curtinfrom Brown University (static multiscale methods), Dick James from UMN (restrictedensembles and the definition of stress) and Leonid Berlyand from Pennsylvania StateUniversity (thermodynamics).

There are a great many colleagues who were willing to talk to us at length about varioussubjects in these books. We hope that we did not overstay our welcome in their officestoo often, and that they do not sigh too deeply anymore when they see a message from usin their inbox. Most importantly, we thank them very much for their time. In addition tothose already mentioned above, we thank David Rodney (Institut National Polytechnique deGrenoble), Perry Leo and Tom Shield (UMN), Miles Rubin and Eli Altus (Technion), JoelLebowitz, Sheldon Goldstein and Michael Kiessling (Rutgers)1 and Andy Ruina (Cornell).We would also be remiss if we did not take the time to thank Art Voter (Los Alamos National

1 Ellad would particularly like to thank the Rutgers trio for letting him join them on one of their lunches to discussthe foundations of statistical mechanics – a topic which is apparently standard lunch fare for them along withthe foundations of quantum mechanics.

Laboratory), John Moriarty (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and Mike Baskes(Sandia National Laboratories) for many insightful discussions and suggestions of valuablereferences.

There are some things in these books that are so far outside our area of expertise that wehave even had to look beyond the offices of professors and researchers. Elissa Gutterman,an expert in linguistics, provided phonetic pronunciation of French and German names. Asnone of us are experimentalists, our brief foray into pocket watch “testing” would not havebeen very successful without the help of Steve Truttman and Stan Conley in the structureslaboratories at Carleton University. The story of our cover images involves so many people,it deserves its own paragraph.

As the reader will see in the introduction to both books, we are fond of the symbolicconnection between pocket watches and the topics we discuss herein. There are manybeautiful images of pocket watches out there, but obtaining one of sufficient resolution,and getting permission to use it, is surprisingly difficult. As such, we owe a great debtto Mr. Hans Holzach, a watchmaker and amateur photographer at Beyer ChronometrieAG in Zurich. Not only did he generously agree to let us use his images, he took overthe entire enterprise of retaking the photos when we found out that his images did nothave sufficient resolution! This required Hans to coordinate with many people that wealso thank for helping make the strikingly beautiful cover images possible. These includethe photographer, Dany Schulthess (www.fotos.ch), Mr. Rene Beyer, the owner of BeyerChronometrie AG in Zurich, who compensated the photographer and permitted photos tobe taken at his shop, and also to Dr. Randall E. Morris, the owner of the pocket watch,who escorted it from California to Switzerland (!) in time for the photo shoot. The fact thattotal strangers would go to such lengths in response to an unsolicited e-mail contact is atestament to their kind spirits and, no doubt, to their proud love of the beauty of pocketwatches.

We cannot forget our students. Many continue to teach us things every day just by bringingus their questions and ideas. Others were directly used as guinea pigs with early drafts ofparts of these books.2 Ellad would like to thank his graduate students and postdoctoralfellows over the last five years who have been fighting with this project for attention,specifically Nikhil Admal, Yera Hakobian, Hezi Hizkiahu, Dan Karls, Woo Kyun Kim,Leonid Kucherov, Amit Singh, Tsvetanka Sendova, Valeriu Smiricinschi, Slava Sorkin andSteve Whalen. Ron would likewise like to thank Ishraq Shabib, Behrouz Shiari and DenisSaraev, whose work helped shape his ideas about atomistic modeling. Ryan would liketo thank Kaushik Dayal, Dan Gerbig, Dipta Ghosh, Venkata Suresh Guthikonda, VincentJusuf, Dan Karls, Tsvetanka Sendova, Valeriu Smirichinski and Viacheslav (Slava) Sorkin.Harley Johnson and his 2008–2009 and 2010–2011 graduate classes at the University ofIllinois (Urbana-Champaign) who used the books extensively provided great feedback toimprove the manuscripts, as did Bill Curtin’s class at Brown in 2009–2010. The 2009and 2010 classes of Ron’s “Microstructure and Properties of Engineering Materials” classcaught many initial errors in the chapters on crystal structures and molecular statics and

Some students of Ellad’s Continuum Mechanics course are especially notedfor their significant contributions: Yilmaz Bayazit (2008), Pietro Ferrero (2009), ZhuangHoulong (2008), Jenny Hwang (2009), Karl Johnson (2008), Dan Karls (2008), Minsu Kim(2009), Nathan Nasgovitz (2008), Yintao Song (2008) and Chonglin Zhang (2008).

Of course, we should also thank our own teachers. Course notes from Michael Ortiz,Janet Blume, Jerry Weiner, Nicolas Triantafyllidis and Tom Shield were invaluable tous in preparing our own notes and this book. Thanks also to Ellad and Ron’s formeradvisors at Brown University, Michael Ortiz and Rob Phillips (both currently at Caltech)and Ryan’s former advisors Nicolas Triantafyllidis and John A. Shaw at the Universityof Michigan (Nick is currently at the Ecole Polytechnique, France), whose irresistibleenthusiasm, curiosity and encouragement pulled us down this most rewarding of scientificpaths.

Ryan would like to thank the University of Minnesota and the McKnight Foundationwhose McKnight Land-Grant Professorship helped support his effort in writing this book.Further, he would like to sincerely thank Patrick Le Tallec, Nicolas Triantafyllidis, RenataZwiers, Kostas Danas, Charis Iordanou and everyone at the Laboratoire de Mecanique desSolides (LMS), the Ecole Polytechnique, France for their generous support, hosting andfriendship during Ryan and Sheila’s “Paris adventure” of 2010. Finally, Ryan would like toacknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation.

We note that many figures in these books were prepared with the drawing packageAsymptote (see http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/), an open-source effort that we thinkdeserves to be promoted here. Finally, we thank our editor Simon Capelin and the entireteam at Cambridge, for their advice, assistance and truly astounding patience.

Notation

This book is devoted to the subject of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. However,together with the companion book by Tadmor and Miller, Modeling Materials (MM)[TM11], it is part of a greater effort to create a unified theoretical foundation for multiscalemodeling of material behavior. Such a theory includes contributions from a large numberof fields including those covered in this book, but also quantum mechanics, statisticalmechanics and materials science. We have attempted as much as possible to use the mostcommon and familiar notation from within each field as long as this does not lead toconfusion. To keep the amount of notation to a minimum, we generally prefer to appendqualifiers to symbols rather than introducing new symbols. For example, f is force, whichif relevant can be divided into internal, f int , and external, f ext , parts.

We use the following general conventions:

• Descriptive qualifiers generally appear as superscripts and are typeset using a Roman (asopposed to Greek) nonitalic font.

• The weight and style of the font used to render a variable indicates its type. Scalarvariables are denoted using an italic font. For example, T is temperature. Array variablesare denoted using a sans serif font, such as A for the matrix A. Vectors and tensors (inthe mathematical sense of the word) are rendered in a boldface font. For example, σ isthe stress tensor.

• Variables often have subscript and superscript indices. Indices referring to the compo-nents of a matrix, vector or tensor appear as subscripts in italic Roman font. For example,vi is the ith component of the velocity vector. Superscripts will be used as counters ofvariables. For example, F e is the deformation gradient in element e. Iteration countersappear in parentheses, for example f (i) is the force in iteration i.

• The Einstein summation convention will be followed on repeated indices (e.g. vivi =v2

1 + v22 + v2

3 ), unless otherwise clear from the context. (See Section 2.2.2 for moredetails.)

• A subscript is used to refer to multiple equations on a single line, for example,“Eqn. (3.32)2” refers to the second equation in Eqn. (3.32) (“ai(x, t) ≡ . . . ”).

• Important equations are emphasized by placing them in a shaded box.

Below, we describe the main notation and symbols used in the book, and indicate the pageon which each is first defined.
