Discrete Mechanics Jean-Paul Caltagirone

✤✤ This book presents the fundamental principles of mechanics to re-establish the equations of Discrete Mechanics ✤✤ Introduces physics and thermodynamics associated with physical modeling. The development and the complementarity of sciences lead to review today the old concepts that were the basis for the development of continuum mechanics.
