Nonlinear Continua
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 129.99Offers a presentation of Continuum Mechanics, oriented towards numerical applications in the nonlinear analysis of solids, structures and fluid mechanics. This book develops general curvilinear coordinator kinematics of the continuum deformation using general curvilinear coordinates. more...
Mathematical Methods for Mechanics
Springer 2008; US$ 69.99The interaction between mathematics and mechanics is a never ending source of new developments. This present textbook includes a wide a "ranging spectrum of topics from the three body problem and gyroscope theory to bifurcation theory, optimization, control and continuum mechanics of elastic bodies and fluids. For each of the covered topics the... more...
An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Elsevier Science 1982; US$ 180.00This book presents an introduction to the classical theories of continuum mechanics; in particular, to the theories of ideal, compressible, and viscous fluids, and to the linear and nonlinear theories of elasticity. These theories are important, not only because they are applicable to a majority of the problems in continuum mechanics arising in practice,... more...
Analytical Mechanics for Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Oxford University Press, UK 2005; US$ 100.00This book provides an innovative and mathematically sound treatment of the foundations of analytical mechanics and the relation of classical mechanics to relativity and quantum theory. It treats time as a transformable coordinate, and so moves the teaching of classical mechanics out of the ninteenth century and into the modern relativistic era. It... more...

Variational Principles of Continuum Mechanics
Springer 2009; US$ 79.99Reviews the variational approach's use as a universal tool to describe physical phenomena and as a source for qualitative and quantitative methods of studying particular problems. This book considers mathematical issues as long as they focus on the physical outcomes and/or provide a useful technique for the direct study of variational problems. more...

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 104.00As a primary branch of physical mechanics, continuum mechanics deals with forces and behaviours that are continuous throughout a material or system, be it solid or fluid. It includes such behaviors as stress, strain, kinematics, elasticity, and plasticity. Without a thorough understanding of continuum mechancs, virtually all advanced mechanical engineering... more...
