A concise introductory course text on continuum mechanics
Fundamentals of Continuum Mechanics focuses on the fundamentals of the subject and provides the background for formulation of numerical methods for large deformations and a wide range of material behaviours. It aims to provide the foundations for further study, not just of these subjects, but also the formulations for much more complex material behaviour and their implementation computationally.
This book is divided into 5 parts, covering mathematical preliminaries, stress, motion and deformation, balance of mass, momentum and energy, and ideal constitutive relations and is a suitable textbook for introductory graduate courses for ... Read more

Reviews for Fundamentals of Continuum Mechanics
“Motivated students will benefit from this systematic, disciplined and concise treatment of the fundamentals of continuum mechanics. Many practitioners will also appreciate the logical organization, and the lucid descriptions of such matters as the distinctions between the various common stress and strain measures.” (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 1 November 2015)
