Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

Zusammenfassung This text treats solids and fluids in a balanced manner! using thermodynamic restrictions on the relation between applied forces and material responses. It has many examples and over 150 exercises. This subject is essential for experimental or numerical modelling of material behaviour. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2. Cartesian tensors; 3.
