About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The strength of the book lies in the presentation of a very general and rational framework for constitutive formulations and the role thermodynamics plays in these formulations. [...] Continuum Mechanics is recommended more as a reference book for students and researchers in applied mechanics and structural mechanics [...] The text is also recommended as a textbook for students in the fields of theoretical physics and applied mathematics for which a more rational framework of continuum mechanics is required." (Applied Mechanics Review, 56/3, 2003)
"It is probably a pleasure for all scientists working in the field of continuum mechanics to have a new book by hand which gives a compact and modern introduction into continuum mechanics and thermodynamics and which is enhanced with numerous examples and exercises. … the book can be recommended to senior undergraduates and graduate students at the master and PhD level as well as to research scientists and teachers." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 25 (2), 2005)
"This book contains a modern presentation of the basic principles of continuum mechanics … together with an introduction to the basic ideas of rational extended thermodynamics. … The book is self-contained, since the appendix contains all relevant material and notation of tensor analysis which is needed in the book. … the unified treatment of both rational continuum mechanics and extended thermodynamics is a novelty and renders the book a useful didactic tool." (Paolo Cermelli, Mathematical Reviews, 2005 c)
"The book under review has been written and used in conjunction with an introductory course on continuum mechanics … . Each chapter has examples and exercises to supplement the basic material. … this is a compact well-written textbook on continuum mechanics, with a strong emphasis on thermodynamics." (Cornelius O. Horgan, SIAM Reviews, Vol. 45 (2), 2003)
"This book is intended primarily asa textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and engineering sciences. The text can also serve as a reference book for students and researchers in the fields of applied and structural mechanics. … The strength of the book lies in the presentation of a very general and rational framework for constitutive formulations and the role thermodynamics plays in these formulations. … In summary, Continuum Mechanics is recommended … ." (E. DeSantiago, Applied Mechanics Reviews, Vol. 56 (3), 2003)
