| Summary: | "This book presents an introduction to the science of Continuum Mechanics. It is written as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and for researchers, and is supplied with examples and exercise problems. The subject matter is organized such that the book may be used as a textbook in four separate courses: an introductory course in Continuum Mechanics focusing on kinematics, kinetics, stress analysis, tensors in Cartesian coordinates, small strain analysis, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics; a supplementary course in Mechanics of Materials including anisotropic elasticity, viscoelasticity, and plasticity; a graduate course in Continuum Mechanics including the theory of large deformations and the general theory of constitutive modelling of materials; and Tensor Analysis in Cartesian and general curvilinear coordinates."--Jacket.
