<p>A classic in the field, this book meets the demands of courses that establish groundwork in hydrodynamics, gas dynamics, plasticity and elasticity, and it provides typical continua problems for nonspecialists. The author addresses the major aspects of continuum studies: geometrical foundations, state of stress, instantaneous motion, fundamental laws, perfect fluids, viscous fluids, visco-plastic and perfectly plastic materials, hypoelastic materials, finite strain, and elastic and hyperelastic materials. The text’s broad converge and numerous applications include more than 160 problems and examples, and the only prerequisites are first- and second-year college calculus. 1961 ed.<br></p>
