E-Book Overview
"Most books on continuum mechanics focus on elasticity and fluid mechanics. But whether student or practicing professional, modern engineers need a more thorough treatment to understand the behavior of the complex materials and systems in use today. Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity offers a complete tour of the subject that includes not only elasticity and fluid mechanics but also covers<span class='showMoreLessContentElement' style='display: none;'> plasticity, viscoelasticity, and the continuum model for fatigue and fracture mechanics. Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity builds a strong understanding of the principles, equations, and finite element formulations needed to solve real engineering problems."--Jacket. <span class='showMoreLessControlElement showMoreLessInline'><span>Read more...
