Most books on continuum mechanics focus on elasticity and fluid
mechanics. But whether student or practicing professional, modern
engineers need a more thorough treatment to understand the behavior
of the complex materials and systems in use today. Continuum
Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity offers a
complete tour of the subject that includes not only elasticity and
fluid mechanics but also covers plasticity, viscoelasticity, and
the continuum model for fatigue and fracture mechanics.
In addition to a broader scope, this book also supplies a review
of the necessary mathematical tools and results for a
self-contained treatment. The author provides finite element
formulations of the equations encountered throughout the chapters
and uses an approach with just the right amount of mathematical
rigor without being too theoretical for practical use. Working
systematically from the continuum model for the thermomechanics of
materials, coverage moves through linear and nonlinear elasticity
using both tensor and matrix notation, plasticity, viscoelasticity,
and concludes by introducing the fundamentals of fracture mechanics
and fatigue of metals. Requisite mathematical tools appear in the
final chapter for easy reference.
Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity
builds a strong understanding of the principles, equations, and
finite element formulations needed to solve real engineering
problems.
