About this book
This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. PART I: Continuum Mechanics introduces into the Foundations using tensors in Cartesian coordinate systems, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics. PART II: Mechanics of Materials has chapters on viscoelasticity, plasticity, principles of constitutive modelling, and thermodynamics. PART III presents Tensor Analysis and fundamental equations of Continuum Mechanics in curvilinear coordinates.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The aim of the book is to give an introduction to Continuum Mechanics. … the textbook can be used in advanced semesters courses mainly at mechanical or civil engineering faculties. The advantage of this textbook is that it is relatively simple. … So, the textbook can be recommended for students who will study the classical parts of continuum mechanics and who are interested in the interlink between theory, experiments, and practical solutions." (Holm Altenbach, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 88 (6), 2008)
