About The Book
This comprehensive text introduces the unified field of continuum mechanics, which merges the mechanics of fluids and solids—a core area of physics and applied mathematics crucial for civil and mechanical engineering. Aimed at undergraduate students, the book offers a systematic approach to teaching fluid and solid mechanics based on general principles that apply across all materials.
The text starts with essential concepts in matrix algebra, vectors, Cartesian tensors, and the analysis of deformation and stress. It then builds upon these foundations by exploring the laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, as well as the formulation of constitutive equations for various fluids and solids. The book includes many worked examples and a selection of problems (with solutions where appropriate), making it an invaluable resource for students in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering.
