| Summary |
"This textbook on continuum mechanics reflects the modern view that scientists and engineers should be trained to think and work in multidisciplinary environments. A course on continuums mechanics introduces the basic principles of mechanics and prepares students for advanced courses in traditional and emerging fields such as biomechanics and nanomechanics. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students."--BOOK JACKET. |
