Introduction to Unified Mechanics Theory with Applications

The mathematical formulation and proof of the unified mechanics theory (UMT) are presented, which unifies Newtons laws and the laws of thermodynamics. It offers formulations and experimental verifications for thermal, mechanical, electrical, corrosion, chemical, and fatigue loads and discusses why Newton's original universal laws of motion are incomplete. The book is designed for upper-level undergraduate mechanics courses and first-year graduate-level courses.

The mathematical formulation and proof of the unified mechanics theory (UMT) is presented in this text, which is based on the unification of Newtons laws and the laws of thermodynamics. It also offers formulations and experimental verifications of the theory for thermal, mechanical, electrical, corrosion, chemical, and fatigue loads, and it discusses why the original universal laws of motion proposed by Isaac Newton in 1687 are incomplete. The author provides concrete examples, such as how Newtons second law, F = ma, gives the initial acceleration of a soccer ball kicked by a player, but does not tell us how and when the ball would come to a stop.

Over the course of Introduction to Unified Mechanics Theory, Dr. Basaran illustrates that Newtonian mechanics does not account for the thermodynamic changes happening in a system over its usable lifetime. And in this context, this book explains how to design a system to perform its intended functions safely over its usable life time and predicts the expected lifetime of the system without using empirical models, a process currently done using Newtonian mechanics and empirical degradation/failure/fatigue models which are curve-fit to test data. Written as a textbook suitable for upper-level undergraduate mechanics courses, as well as first year graduate level courses, this book is the result of over 25 years of scientific activity with the contribution of dozens of scientists from around the world, including the USA, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Spain, China, India, and the U.K.
