Beschreibung

Continuum mechanics deals with the stress, deformation, and mechanical behaviour of matter as a continuum rather than a collection of discrete particles. The subject is interdisciplinary in nature, and has gained increased attention in recent times primarily because of a need to understand a variety of phenomena at different spatial scales. The second edition of Principles of Continuum Mechanics provides a concise yet rigorous treatment of the subject of continuum mechanics and elasticity at the senior undergraduate and first-year graduate levels. It prepares engineer-scientists for advanced courses in traditional as well as emerging fields such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, energy systems, and computational mechanics. The large number of examples and exercise problems contained in the book systematically advance the understanding of vector and tensor analysis, basic kinematics, balance laws, field equations, constitutive equations, and applications. A solutions manual is available for the book.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A gutsy attempt at a simplified yet insightful treatment of continuum mechanics, Principles of Continuum Mechanics 2nd Edition offers a rare opportunity for the uninitiated audience, including students at the undergraduate level, to learn the essence of the philosophy and the working of the continuum theory of solids and fluids. It has substantive appeal, not just for the beginner, but also for those intending to make use of basic continuum mechanics for industrial or research purposes of an interdisciplinary nature.' Debasish Roy, Indian Institute of Science 'J. N. Reddy's Principles of Continuum Mechanics excels at presenting in a comprehensible and rigorous style a topic that is generally found challenging by students. The book includes numerous examples and analogies that facilitate a solid understanding of otherwise sophisticated concepts, and it provides extensive discussions and inspiring quotes that motivate the reader to regard this discipline within its wider scientific context.' Gabriel Potirniche, University of Idaho
