7.1 BASIC LAWS OF CONTINUUM MECHANICS

7.1.1 GENERAL IDEAS OF FUNDAMENTAL LAWS

To the fundamental laws of physics we refer conservation laws which are equally true for a substance and field. The issues of continuum mechanics hold a high position in the problems connected with power machines and heat engines. The mathematical models developed on the main conceptual issues of continuum mechanics comprise the equations of conservation of mass, energy, momentum, moment of momentum.
