Infos

A comprehensive introduction to the mechanics and physics of solids and fluids, providing all the necessary background to the physics of the continuum theory of condensed systems for graduate students of physics, materials science and geophysics in one volume. In this lucid and comprehensive treatment of the wide and varied field of continuum theory the subject is systematically developed from the fundamental stress and strain tensors.
