This textbook presents the physical principles pertinent to the
mathematical modeling of soft materials used in engineering
practice, including both man-made materials and biological tissues.
It is intended for seniors and masters-level graduate students in
engineering, physics or applied mathematics. It will also be a
valuable resource for researchers working in mechanics,
biomechanics and other fields where the mechanical response of soft
solids is relevant.
"Soft Solids: A Primer to the Theoretical Mechanics of
Materials" is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the basic
concepts needed to give both Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions
of the mechanical response of soft solids. Part II presents two
distinct theories of elasticity and their associated theories of
viscoelasticity. Seven boundary-value problems are studied over the
course of the book, each pertaining to an experiment used to
characterize materials. These problems are discussed at the end of
each chapter, giving students the opportunity to apply what they
learned in the current chapter and to build upon the material in
prior chapters.
