Synopsis "analysis and thermomechanics: a collection of papers dedicated to w. noll on his sixtieth birthday"
This volume collects papers dedicated toWalterNoll on his sixtieth birthday, January 7, 1985. They first appeared in Volumes 86-97 (1984-1987) of the Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. At the request ofthe Editors the list of authors to be invited was drawn up by B.D. Coleman, M. Feinberg, and J. Serrin. WalterNoll's influence upon research into the foundations of mechanics and thermodynamics is plain, everywhere acknowledged. Less obvious is the wide effect his writings have exerted upon those who apply mechanics to special problems, but it is witnessed by the now frequent use of terms, concepts, and styles of argument he introduced, use sometimes by young engineers who have learnt them in some recent textbook and hence take them for granted, oftenwith no idea whence they come. Examples are "objectivity," "material frame indifference," "constitutive equation," "reduced form" of the last-named, "sim plematerial," "simplesolid," "simplefluid," "isotropygroup,"andtheassociated notations and lines of reasoning."
