Description : This book covers the fundamental aspects of continuum mechanics (tensor methods, kinematics of deformation and motion, forces and balance laws) and includes a modern account of essential aspects of constitutive theory such as frame invariance, material symmetry, constraints, and restrictions imposed by thermodynamics. Recent significant advances in the subject have been incorporated in a pedagogically useful format to facilitate independent study as well as access to research literature.
