Continuum mechanics studies the response of materials to different loading conditions. The concept of tensors is introduced through the idea of linear transformation in a self-contained chapter, and the interrelation of direct notation, indicial notation, and matrix operations is clearly presented.
New material has been added to this third edition text for a beginning course in continuum mechanics. Additions include anisotropic elastic solids, finite deformation theory, some solutions of classical elasticity problems, objective tensors and objective time derivatives of tensors, constitutive eq
