Abstract
The mechanics and thermodynamics of chemically stable, continuous bodies can be built up from the intuitive notion that a theory for the computational simulation of the development in time of observable phenomena needs at least one quantity that remains constant in time in order to have a check on the validity of the theory for all admissible initial data. The central role that can be given to the principle of conservation of energy is demonstrated both for the mechanics of rigid bodies as well as for the mechanics and thermodynamics of gases and deformable bodies.
