Mathematical Theory of Continuum Mechanics
Discusses the mathematical theory of two major branches of continuum mechanics - mechanics of the elastic solids and mechanics of fluids. Emphasis is placed on the common basic principles and governing equations, and shows analogies between solids and fluids.
Cartesian tensors are used to develop the subject in a lucid and comprehensive manner. A number of examples and exercises are included to enhance the beginner's understanding of the subject.
