This invaluable book has been written for engineers and engineering scientists in a style that is readable, precise, concise, and practical. It gives first priority to the formulation of problems, presenting the classical results as the gold standard, and the numerical approach as a tool for obtaining solutions. The classical part is a revision of the well-known text Foundations of Solid Mechanics, with a much-expanded discussion on the theories of plasticity and large elastic deformation with finite strains. The computational part is all new and is aimed at solving many major linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems. Booknews A textbook primarily for students who will be practicing design engineers, but also those who will study mechanics academically or will use it now and then in the context of another field. The classical part is mainly a re-issue of Fung's (U. of California- San Diego) . Tong (Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology) focuses on numerical methods to solve linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
