Introduction to Continuum Mechanics by Micheal Lai,David Rubin and Erhard Krempl
The first edition of this book was published in 1974, nearly twenty years ago. It was written as a text book for an introductory course in continuum mechanics and aimed specifically at the junior and senior level of undergraduate engineering curricula which choose to introduce to the students at the undergraduate level the general approach to the subject matter of continuum mechanics. We are pleased that many instructors of continuum mechanics have found this little book serves that purpose well. However, we have also understood that many instructors have used this book as one of the texts for a beginning graduate course in continuum mechanics. It is this latter knowledge that has motivated us to write this new edition. In this present edition, we have included materials which we feel are suitable for a beginning graduate course in continuum mechanics.
Contents
Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 2 Tensors
Chapter 3 Kinematics of a Continuum
Chapter 4 Stress
Chapter 5 The Elastic Solid
Chapter 6 Newtonian Viscous Fluid
Chapter 7 Integral Formulation of General Principles
Chapter 8 Non-Newtonian Fluids
the books gives detailed information on tensor analysis and many formulation makes them simpler to understand . this is a very good book for students studying elasticity, plasticity and solid mechanics or CFD
