Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials is concerned with the
deformation, flow, and fracture of solid materials. This textbook
offers a unified presentation of the major concepts in Solid
Mechanics for junior/senior-level undergraduate students in the
many branches of engineering - mechanical, materials, civil, and
aeronautical engineering among others. The book begins by covering
the basics of kinematics and strain, and stress and equilibrium,
followed by a coverage of the small deformation theories for
different types of material response: (i) Elasticity; (ii)
Plasticity and Creep; (iii) Fracture and Fatigue; and (iv)
Viscoelasticity. The book has additional chapters covering the
important material classes of: (v) Rubber Elasticity, and (vi)
Continuous-fiber laminated composites. The text includes numerous
examples to aid the student. A substantial companion volume with
example problems is available free of charge on the book's
companion website.
This book covers the essential elements of engineering mechanics of
deformable bodies, including mechanical elements in
tension-compression, torsion, and bending. It emphasizes a
fundamental bottom up approach to the subject in a concise and
uncluttered presentation. Of special interest are chapters dealing
with potential energy as well as principle of virtual work methods
for both exact and approximate solutions. The book places an
emphasis on the underlying assumptions of the theories in order to
encourage the reader to think more deeply about the subject matter.
The book should be of special interest to undergraduate students
looking for a streamlined presentation as well as those returning
to the subject for a second time.

Continuum Mechanics of Solids is an introductory text for graduate
students in the many branches of engineering, covering the basics
of kinematics, equilibrium, and material response. As an
introductory book, most of the emphasis is upon the kinematically
linear theories of elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity,
with two additional chapters devoted to topics in finite
elasticity. Further chapters cover topics in fracture and fatigue
and coupled field problems, such as thermoelasticity,
chemoelasticity, poroelasticity, and piezoelectricity. There is
ample material for a two semester course, or by selecting only
topics of interest for a one-semester offering. The text includes
numerous examples to aid the student. A companion text with over
180 fully worked problems is also available.
