It aims to provide the foundations for further study, not just of these subjects, but also the formulations for much more complex material behaviour and their implementation computationally. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is divided into 5 parts, covering mathematical preliminaries, stress, motion and deformation, balance of mass, momentum and energy, and ideal constitutive relations and is a suitable textbook for introductory graduate courses for students in mechanical and civil engineering, as well as those studying material science, geology and geophysics and biomechanics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA concise introductory course text on continuum mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the fundamentals of continuum mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses modern tensor notation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains problems and accompanied by a companion website hosting solutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable as a textbook for introductory graduate courses for students in mechanical and civil engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John W.

Rudnicki\u003c\/b\u003e received his bachelor, master's and PhD degrees from Brown University in the USA, the last in 1977. He has been on the faculty of Northwestern University since 1981, where he is now Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has been awarded the Biot Medal from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Brown Engineering Alumni Medal, the Daniel C. Drucker Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Engineering Science Medal from the Society of Engineering Science. His research has been primarily in geomechanics, specifically the inelastic behavior and failure of geomaterials. He has been especially interested in deformation instabilities in brittle rocks and granular media, including their interactions with pore fluids, with applications to the mechanics of earthquakes and environment- and resource-related geomechanics\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40677929549939,"sku":"9.78112E+12","price":144.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2eb941bc-d3c2-456a-9ec5-483d15d30f9d.jpg?v=1674573629","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/fundamentals-of-continuum-mechanics-9781118479919","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
