DESCRIPTION:
Tedious and slow to get going Adam O. Roslund This book contains very little continuum mechanics in it. It starts out with a tedious development of suffix notation, as well as two chapters developing the properties of cartesian tensors of second order. Unfortunately, this includes proving such basic things as the sum of two tensors being a tensor. The author seems to also enjoy avoiding conventional notation wherever possible, and places everything (products of matrices, products of matrices an. Nice math book but not enough physics MDC This book is a nice tensor analysis book, however, basically nothing about constitutive theory (one of the most important results in continuum physics) is presented. There are other continuum mechanics books out there in this price range that are better (e.g. Spencer, Gurtinetc.). Continuum mechanics Christos Tsoumeleas This is a very good introductory book on continuum mechanics. I believe that the use of the suffix notation that the authors adopt throughout the book makes it easier for the reader to put in practical use the theoretical principles developed in chapters 5,6,7 and 8.
With the inclusion of more than 250 fully worked-out examples and 500 worked exercises, this book is certain to become a standard introductory text for students as well as an indispensable reference for professionals.Key Features* Provides a clear and self-contained treatment of vectors, matrices, and tensors specifically tailored to the needs of continuum mechanics* Develops the concepts and principles common to all areas in solid and fluid mechanics with a common notation and terminology* Covers the fundamentals of elasticity theory and fluid mechanics. A detailed and self-contained text written for beginners, Continuum Mechanics offers concise coverage of the basic concepts, general principles, and applications of continuum mechanics. Without sacrificing rigor, the clear and simple mathematical derivations are made accessible to a large number of students with little or no previous background in solid or fluid mechanics
