This book provides comprehensive coverage of continuum mechanics, using an innovative, energy-based approach that closely reflects contemporary engineering practice. Applied examples and problems extend the book's practical orientation, while its opening introduction to mechanics (in Chapter 1) grounds readers in concepts, principles, and equations referenced in succeeding chapters.
