This treatise is an attempt to portray the ideas, the general principles and also some concrete procedures of the theory of materials. This exposition is adapted from phenomenological continuum mechanics; the fundamental terms of continuum mechanics required here are therefore quoted in the appropriate form as well. The entire presentation refers exclusively to the classical continuum of material points; non-classical continua such as Cosserat continua, oriented
media, higher-gradient materials or non-local theories are not taken into consideration. Anyone practising continuum mechanics, given a set of experimental data, should be suitably equipped for devising a constitutive model to represent the phenomena ascertained in a consistent manner and thus render such a model serviceable for practical applications in connection with a reliable prediction of the thermo mechanical behaviour of material structures and systems.
