An extensive range of problems are incorporated together with detailed solutions to reinforce concepts introduced in the text, help develop the readers intuition, and promote engagement with the material.Intended for final year undergraduate and beginning graduate students of engineering and physics, this book provides a concise, rigorous and accessible introduction to continuum mechanics. It will also serve as a reference for researchers, instructors and practitioners.Contents:<ul><li>Mathematical Preliminaries</li><li>Bodies, Configurations, and Motions</li><li>Further Preliminaries, with Applications to the Analysis of Deformation</li><li>Rate of Deformation</li><li>Transport Formulas</li><li>Balance Laws</li><li>Observers and Frames of Reference</li><li>Constitutive Equations</li><li>Viscous Fluids</li><li>Kinematic Constraints</li><li>Elastic Solids</li><li>Linear Elasticity</li><li>Appendices:<ul><li>Some Facts About Vector and Tensor Algebra</li><li>Derivatives of Scalars with Respect to Tensors</li><li>Rotation Tensors and the Rodrigues Representation</li><li>Spectral Representation of a Symmetric Tensor</li><li>Solutions to Selected Problems</li></ul></li></ul>Readership: Final year undergraduate and beginning graduate students of engineering and physics, researchers, instructors and practitioners....7110470Principles of Continuum Mechanics701779https://www.gandhi.com.mx/principles-of-continuum-mechanics-9789819806874/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7091824/image.jpg?v=638814988891430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
