Presents an introduction into the science of Continuum Mechanics. This book introduces Foundations using tensors in Cartesian coordinate systems, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics. It contains chapters on viscoelasticity, plasticity, principles of constitutive modelling, and thermodynamics.

This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. The presentation is modern and comprehensive. Its introduction into tensors is very gentle. The book contains many examples and exercises, and is intended for scientists, practitioners and students of mechanics.
