Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for a specific book that integrates concepts from stress/strain, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics through potential functions. Participants are exploring potential titles and authors while expressing curiosity about the interconnections among these fields.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about a book that relates various physical concepts as potential functions but lacks specific details about the title or author.
  • Another participant suggests "Engineering Field Theory" by A J Baden Fuller, noting it covers many relevant areas but does not include elastostatics.
  • A different participant reiterates the suggestion of "Engineering Field Theory" and expresses disappointment about the absence of elastostatics while appreciating the interconnections presented in the book.
  • Another suggestion is "Advanced Vector Analysis" by C E Weatherburn, which is said to cover all the areas of interest, including elastostatics, although it is described as somewhat dated.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the specific book being sought, but there are multiple suggestions offered that address different aspects of the inquiry. The discussion remains open with various viewpoints on potential resources.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the exact nature of the book being sought, including its classification as a mathematics, physics, or engineering text. There is also mention of the limitations of the suggested books regarding specific topics like elastostatics.

Okay, I apologize if this is in the wrong location, but someone once told me of a book and I figured this was the "best" place to post an inquiry as it covers many fields.

Supposedly there exists a book, an older one if I'm not mistaken, that relates the concepts of stress/strain, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics as forms of potential functions with different constants. Does anyone happen to know the name of this book? I would dearly love to find a copy, but know not the author, title, or if it even truly exists. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to glance at this post!

Are you looking for a maths book, a physics book or an engineering book?

Engineering Field Theory by A J Baden Fuller covers most of what you seek plus some other areas, but not the elastostatics.

Not sure what kind of a book it is. I was told it existed and I was very curious, as I love to see the interconnections.

Thanks for the find. I'm bummed that the elastostatics isn't involved, but it is definitely a step in the direction. Thanks for sharing!
 
You might also look at

Advanced Vector Analysis by C E Weatherburn

This covers all your areas including elastostatics, but the book is entitled vector analysis so potential theory is 'woven in'. Further it is an older book ( but " Still Good" like the Norman Rockwell adverts) so somewhat dated in content.

go well
