This paper is intended to serve as a blueprint for the first few chapters of future textbooks on continuum mechanics and continuum thermomechanics. It gives precise intrinsic formulation of the laws of balance of forces and torques, balance of energy, and the concepts of temperature and entropy. They are intrinsic in the sense that they do not involve external frames of reference such as a “physical...
The thermomechanical behavior of pure polycrystalline tantalum has been characterized over a wide range of strain rates, using the recently developed shear compression specimen [D. Rittel, S. Lee, G. Ravichandran, Experimental Mechanics 42 (2002) 58–64]. Dynamic experiments were carried out using a split Hopkinson pressure bar, and the specimen's temperature was monitored throughout the tests using...
