“Presenting a complete state-of-the-art of continuum mechanics and continuum thermodynamics, the encyclopedia will be useful to Master degree students. They will find the necessary bases of continuum mechanics. The Encyclopedia will also be useful to researchers involved in continuum mechanics. … With the included lists of references for the different entries they are interested in, they will get links to deeper analyses. The Encyclopedia is intended to live thanks to the contributions of readers … .” (Alain Brillard, zbMATH 1477.74001, 2022)
