Synopsis
Continuum Mechanics of Solids is an introductory text for graduate students in the many branches of engineering, covering the basics of kinematics, equilibrium, and material response. As an introductory book, most of the emphasis is upon the kinematically linear theories of elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity, with two additional chapters devoted to topics in finite elasticity. Further chapters cover topics in fracture and fatigue and coupled field
problems, such as thermoelasticity, chemoelasticity, poroelasticity, and piezoelectricity. There is ample material for a two semester course, or by selecting only topics of interest for a one-semester offering. The text includes numerous examples to aid the student. A companion text with over 180 fully
worked problems is also available. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
Both authors have made seminal contributions to the subject, and are scholars of great depth and breadth. The field is well established, broadly useful, and commonly taught. In recent years, new extensions, refinements, and applications are discovered, in fields like polymers, gels, and batteries. A textbook with attention to practical pedagogy, as written by these two distinguished scholars, is exceptionally timely. * Zhigang Suo, Harvard University * This book will find a broad audience as a textbook for first year graduate level courses in solid mechanics all over the world. * Prashant Purohit, University of Pennsylvania * The presentation is excellent... it is an appropriate time for such a book, particularly for the inclusion of thermoelasticity, viscoelasticity and chemoelasticity which are of increasing importance. * Alan Needleman, Texas A&M University *
