| Description: |
Provides a clear presentation of continuum mechanics for engineers, physicists, and materials scientists. This book uses a principles-based approach to continuum-level characterization, design, and modeling. It uses direct notation for a straightforward math presentation, leading to better understanding of the underlying physics. |
| Synopsis: |
Fundamentals of Continuum Mechanics provides a clear and rigorous presentation of continuum mechanics for engineers, physicists, applied mathematicians, and materials scientists. This book emphasizes the role of thermodynamics in constitutive modeling, with detailed application to nonlinear elastic solids, viscous fluids, and modern smart materials. While emphasizing advanced material modeling, special attention is also devoted to developing novel theories for incompressible and thermally expanding materials. A wealth of carefully chosen examples and exercises illuminate the subject matter and facilitate self-study. |
