A bestselling textbook in its first three editions, Continuum Mechanics For Engineers, Fourth Edition continues to provide a basic, understandable approach to the concepts, mathematics and engineering applications of continuum mechanics. The new edition features an expanded coverage of fluids, a new chapter on plasticity and an increase of approximately 10% in the number of chapter problems. The book's approach serves to connect earlier mechanics courses to continuum mechanics with a gradual, systematic development of the fundamentals.
