Reihe: Applied and Computational Mechanics

A bestselling textbook in its first three editions, Continuum Mechanics for Engineers, Fourth Edition provides engineering students with a complete, concise, and accessible introduction to advanced engineering mechanics. It provides information that is useful in emerging engineering areas, such as micro-mechanics and biomechanics. Through a mastery of this volume’s contents and additional rigorous finite element training, readers will develop the mechanics foundation necessary to skillfully use modern, advanced design tools.

Features:

- Provides a basic, understandable approach to the concepts, mathematics, and engineering applications of continuum mechanics

- Updated throughout, and adds a new chapter on plasticity

- Features an expanded coverage of fluids

- Includes numerous all new end-of-chapter problems

With an abundance of worked examples and chapter problems, it carefully explains necessary mathematics and presents numerous illustrations, giving students and practicing professionals an excellent self-study guide to enhance their skills.

Zielgruppe

This book is intended for mechanical and aerospace engineering majors taking a first continuum mechanics course/module in their senior (4th) yr or 1st grad yr (5th yr). It also would be useful to civil engineering, engineering science and mechanics majors taking a first continuum mechanics course/module in their senior (4th) yr or 1st grad yr (5th yr). Additionally, it would be useful to professional engineers and researchers wanting an understandable book on engineering continuum mechanics.
