Book Synopsis

This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. The presentation is modern and comprehensive. Its introduction into tensors is very gentle. The book contains many examples and exercises, and is intended for scientists, practitioners and students of mechanics.



Trade Review

From the reviews:

"The aim of the book is to give an introduction to Continuum Mechanics. … the textbook can be used in advanced semesters courses mainly at mechanical or civil engineering faculties. The advantage of this textbook is that it is relatively simple. … So, the textbook can be recommended for students who will study the classical parts of continuum mechanics and who are interested in the interlink between theory, experiments, and practical solutions." (Holm Altenbach, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 88 (6), 2008)
