A concise account of various classic theories of fluids and solids,
this book is for courses in continuum mechanics for graduate
students and advanced undergraduates. Thoroughly class-tested in
courses at Stanford University and the University of Warwick, it is
suitable for both applied mathematicians and engineers. The only
prerequisites are an introductory undergraduate knowledge of basic
linear algebra and differential equations. Unlike most existing
works at this level, this book covers both isothermal and thermal
theories. The theories are derived in a unified manner from the
fundamental balance laws of continuum mechanics. Intended both for
classroom use and for self-study, each chapter contains a wealth of
exercises, with fully worked solutions to odd-numbered questions. A
complete solutions manual is available to instructors upon request.
Short bibliographies appear at the end of each chapter, pointing to
material which underpins or expands upon the material discussed.
