Deformable solids, that is to say, those which undergo changes in
geometry when subjected to external loads or other types of
solicitations, as well as other related topics are the focus of
this book. Within the main field, this text deals with advanced
linear elasticity and plasticity approaches and the behavioural
study of more complex types of materials. This includes composites
of more recent manufacture and others whose material
characterisation has only recently been possible. It also describes
how linear elastic behaviour extends to anisotropic materials in
general and how deformations can result in small or large strain
components. The information on plastic behaviour expands to include
strain hardening of the materials. Amongst other new topics
incorporated into this volume are studies of hyperelastic
materials, which can represent elastomeric and some types of
biological materials. A section of the book deals with viscoelastic
materials, i.e. those who deform when subjected to long-term loads.
The behaviour of viscoplasticity, as well as
elasto-viscoplasticity, describes well other types of materials,
including those present in many geotechnical sites. The objective
of this volume is to present material that can be used for teaching
continuum mechanics to students of mechanical, civil or
aeronautical engineering. In order to understand the contents the
reader only needs to know linear algebra and differential calculus.
Examples have been included throughout the text and at the end of
each chapter, exercises are presented which can be used to check on
comprehension of the theoretical information presented.
