This book presents the basic concepts for the mathematical modeling of classical solid and fluid continuous media. It consists of eight chapters treating, Cartesian tensors, the kinematics, and dynamics of a continuous medium, thermodynamics, constitutive equations of classical Newtonian fluids and elastic solids, introduction to the linear theory of elasticity as well as Newtonian fluid mechanics. In each case, simple application examples provide analytical solutions that illustrate the power of modeling using continuum mechanics principles. Appendices give the necessary additions to follow the work and represent the field equations in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems.

Each chapter proposes a series of exercises and suggestions for their solution is also provided. Clear and educational, this book is intended for engineering and physics students who want to learn the basic principles of continuum mechanics. The subject is developed in a simple-to-follow pedagogical manner that readers can work through on their own. They will find in this work a complete modern introduction that opens the door to this vast territory of knowledge.

Michel Deville, ing�nieur civil �lectricien-m�canicien dipl�m� de l'Universit� Catholique de Louvain en 1968, a soutenu sa th�se de doctorat sur un sujet relatif � l'int�gration num�rique des �quations de Navier-Stokes. Apr�s un s�jour au d�partement de math�matiques du Massachusetts Institute of Technology, il poursuit sa carri�re acad�mique � l'Unit� de M�canique Appliqu�e de l'UCL jusqu'en 1993. Ses travaux portent sur les m�thodes spectrales, la mod�lisation de la turbulence et la simulation num�rique des grandes structures. Ces techniques sont appliqu�es � un large spectre d'applications qui couvrent le g�nie m�dical, la simulation directe d'�coulements incompressibles et plus r�cemment, les fluides non newtoniens.

John Botsis obtient le dipl�me d'ing�nieur civil � l'Universit� de Patras, Gr�ce, en 1979. Il continue sa formation au �Case Institute of Technology� � Cleveland, Etats-Unis, o� il obtient son doctorat �s sciences en 1984. Apr�s deux ans pass�s au centre de recherche pour la d�fense nationale � Ath�nes, il est nomm� professeur assistant au d�partement de g�nie civil et des mat�riaux de l'Universit� de l'Illois � Chicago, puis associ� en 1991 et ordinaire en 1995. En 1996 il est nomm� professeur de m�canique des solides et des structures � l'EPFL. Son enseignement et sa recherche couvrent la m�canique des structures, la m�canique de la rupture et la fatigue de divers mat�riaux tels que les tissus vivants, les polym�res, les m�taux et les composites en vue d'applications industrielles et m�dicales. John Botsis s'int�resse �galement au d�veloppement et � l'utilisation de m�thodes optiques pour l'�tude du comportement des mat�riaux et des structures.

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
