Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition:"The book contains an introduction to the fundamental concepts of kinematics, dynamics, and thermodynamics within the context of non-linear field theories. … All in all, the book is an original and inventive introduction into the fundamentals of continuum mechanics … ." (Technische Mechanik, Vol.24 (1), 2004)"What makes the book different from others is a unified treatment of forces acting on a continuum by using the principle of virtual work as well as an original choice of material presentation including, in particular, problems at the end of each chapter. … In its present form, the handbook could be used world-wide in universities and polytechnic schools as a textbook on continuum mechanics. Those who have been doing research in the field for years, should also find the book useful for teaching purposes."
