This textbook presents the physical principles pertinent to the mathematical modeling of soft materials used in engineering practice, including both man-made materials and biological tissues. It is intended for seniors and masters-level graduate students in engineering, physics or applied mathematics. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers working in mechanics, biomechanics and other fields where the mechanical response of soft solids is relevant.
Soft Solids: A Primer to the Theoretical Mechanics of Materials is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the basic concepts needed to give both Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of the mechanical response of soft solids. ... Read more

Reviews for Soft Solids: A Primer to the Theoretical Mechanics of Materials (Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology)
From the book reviews: “The book starts right at the very beginning of continuum mechanics, i.e., kinematics, deformations, stresses, balances, etc. … The book is meant for seniors and first-year masters students. … It is surely recommendable to researchers working on bio-materials, a field of increasing interest recently.” (Albrecht Bertram, zbMATH, Vol. 1296, 2014)
