Well it partly depends what you mean by important and also what you include in classical mechanics.

 

Are you thinking in purely theoretical terms or do applications count?

 

There is much work yet to be undertaken int the field of non linear mechanics.

You have listed several application areas which are the most heavily studied.

 

but how about

The mechanics of granular assemblies

The mechanics of fracture and fatigue

The mechanics of fibre bundles and other composites

High and low termperature mechanics

Near vacuum statistical mechanics

the mechanics of non linear wavelike motion

Please mention theoratical terms as well as application problems.

Hello Everyone,

What are the most important unsolved problems in classical mecahics (mechanics of rigid-bodies, mechanics of deofrmable bodies, fluid mechanics)

Thank you for your suggestions.

There is a COST action "Thermodynamics in the quantum regime". I am sure you could find groups of some interest to you via this action.

 

I personally don't know anyone working on fundamental issues in thermodynamics, the only people I can think of are interested in statistical mechanics.

Could you please recommend me some institutes, research centers doing research in statistical mechanics where I can have the opportunity to apply for my master thesis.

Hello Every One!

I am currently doing master in the field of energy, in Germany.

Most of the institutes, across Europe, working in the field of thermodynamics are basically working in thermodynamics application. In order words, they work in applied thermodynamics.

Can anyone recommend me some renowned institutes in Europe which are doing research on the fundamental level of thermodynamics, work delivery cycles, energetic balancing etc.

Not sure what you want here, tell us more about your interest and the level you expect to find.

 

You may find looking up the subjects of

 

Engineering Mechanics

Mechanics of Machines

Contact Mechanics

Engineering Tribology

Acceleration Diagrams

Engineering Fluid Mechanics

Transport Phenonema

Heat engines

 

 

 

But you will find differential equations pretty common.

 

Two books come to mind

 

Mathematical Modelling

 

by Berry and Houston

 

An introduction to the subject taking you from upper high school into university.

 

The Mathematical Mechanics

 

by Mark Levi.

 

A delightful book where the author sets out to use mechanics to provee mathematical theorems and achieves a useful blend of mechanics and maths.

I am interested in seeking information with respect to "Mathematical Modeling Fundamentals" in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and also Mechanics of Materials.

I shall be grateful if someone can recommend me some book(s) that gives comprehensive knowledge on Mathematical Modeling of Mechanical Systems.

Mostly books on Mathematical Modeling give the knowledge with respect to Controls. In other words, they only discuss differential equations; however, differential equations might not be the only branch of mathematics that is used to define any mechanical system.
