On the derivation of jump conditions in continuum mechanics
Abstract
For continua which contain surfaces of discontinuity, such as shock waves or acceleration waves, the integral balance laws imply certain thermomechanical jump conditions, which may be derived in various ways. In the present expository article, a form of Reynolds' transport theorem is obtained that is particularly useful for deriving these jump conditions.
