Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Continuum Mechanics is a branch of physical mechanics that describes the macroscopic mechanical behavior of solid or fluid materials considered to be continuously distributed. It is fundamental to the fields of civil, mechanical, chemical and bioengineering. This time-tested text has been used for over 35 years to introduce junior and senior-level undergraduate engineering students, as well as graduate students, to the basic principles of continuum mechanics and their applications to real...

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics is a recently updated and revised text which is perfect for either introductory courses in an undergraduate engineering curriculum or for a beginning graduate course. About the Authors: Michael W. Lai: Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Orthopaedic Bioengineering at Columbia University, New York David Rubin: Principal, Weidlinger Associates, New York Erhard Krempl: Rosalind and John J. Redfern, Jr, Professor of Engineering at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY Booknews New material has been added to this third edition text for a beginning course in continuum mechanics. Additions include anisotropic elastic solids, finite deformation theory, some solutions of classical elasticity problems, objective tensors and objective time derivatives of tensors, constitutive equations for viscoelastic fluids, and equations in cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Many examples and problems with selected answers are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
