This textbook on continuum mechanics reflects the modern view that
scientists and engineers should be trained to think and work in
multidisciplinary environments. A course on continuum mechanics
introduces the basic principles of mechanics and prepares students
for advanced courses in traditional and emerging fields such as
biomechanics and nanomechanics. This text introduces the main
concepts of continuum mechanics simply with rich supporting
examples but does not compromise mathematically in providing the
invariant form as well as component form of the basic equations and
their applications to problems in elasticity, fluid mechanics, and
heat transfer. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and
beginning graduate students. The book features: derivations of the
basic equations of mechanics in invariant (vector and tensor) form
and specializations of the governing equations to various
coordinate systems; numerous illustrative examples; chapter-end
summaries; and exercise problems to test and extend the
understanding of concepts presented.
