One of the best books on Continuum Mechanics.
13 April 2000
Format:Paperback
I think this book tends to fill the bibliographic void left by the Classic and "currently dificult to get" works of C. Truesdell's "The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics" and D. C. Leigh's "Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics; An Introduction to the Continuum Physics and Mathematical Theory of the Nonlinear Mechanical Behavior of Materials". This book is divided mainly in two parts, one part dealing with the mathematical framework at which the subject is based on, and the other one deals with the Physical Principles and the Constitutive Theories of several materials including rubber like materials and biological tissue. It is true that you will not find a specific definition of Nonlinear Material Behavior as I was supposed to find it at the begginig of the work. Instead of that, such a definition must be self-generated into the decided reader's mind, once he or she begins to read the book's parts regarding to Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic Materials .

A superb book on continuum mechanics
25 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
I am a graduate student with the mechanical engineering department at Dalhousie university. This book is one of the best texts I have ever read. Every chapter is well organised and the material is presented in a clear manner that stimulates your interest on the subject of continuum mechanics. I have no doubt that engineers of all disciplines (students & professionals) as well as physists and other scientists will find the book as exciting as I have.

Format:Paperback
This book is actually very good. It has a great sections about hyperelastic materials (~ 100 pages). Also it explains well tensors operations (2nd order and 4th order tensors)...
