Overview: Explores the mathematical foundations of continuum mechanics with a particular focus on geometric methods.Introduces applications of global analysis, algebraic topology, algebroids, groupoids, and geoThis contributed volume explores the applications of various topics in modern differential geometry to the foundations of continuum mechanics. In particular, the contributors use notions from areas such as global analysis, algebraic topology, and geometric measure theory. Chapter authors are experts in their respective areas, and provide important insights from the most recent research.
