Electromagnetism coupled with continuum mechanics

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the integration of electromagnetism with continuum mechanics, specifically seeking resources or textbooks that provide a self-consistent treatment of classical and relativistic electromagnetism alongside matter fields.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about textbooks that cover the self-consistent treatment of electromagnetism and matter fields.
  • Another participant suggests "Landau Lifgarbagez" as a recommended resource.
  • A subsequent reply supports the recommendation of "Landau Lifgarbagez," highlighting its quality in addressing classical and quantum transport theory, particularly in volume X (Kinetics), which includes discussions on electromagnetic plasmas.
  • Additional participants provide links to other relevant books and resources that may be useful for the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of "Landau Lifgarbagez" as a key resource, but there are multiple suggestions for additional texts, indicating a variety of perspectives on suitable literature.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions may depend on specific definitions or interpretations of the coupling between electromagnetism and continuum mechanics, and the effectiveness of the recommended texts may vary based on individual needs or focus areas.

Are there any textbooks on something like this, a self consistent treatment of classical electromagnetism (relavistic is fine too) where the field equations are solved alongside with the matter fields.

Landau Lifgarbagez .
 
Yeah, it's the best to use Landau Lifgarbagez. One of the very best treatments of classical and quantum transport theory is vol. X (Kinetics). There is a lot about em. plasmas!
